    No. you shouldn't ask these things on here.

    You may see things like. 'to crack Hotmail put in the email address.. now put your email address and password and send it to bot@hggggr and we will get back to you'

    Load of rubbish. The only way they could have hacked your account is knowing your password by guessing it. Watching you type it. Key logging you. Or guessing your secret answer.

    Sorry but i don't think there is anything you can do.

    it's been guessed, nobody can watch me type it in as i only use it on my laptop and it's saved.

    Is it possible to use the password reset tool? http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/dasp/ua_info.asp

    nah mate. To use the reset tool you need to know the secret question answer (favourite historical person - i don't have one) or they'll email you the password change details to your Hotmail account. If i could get into my hotmail account i wouldn't be trying to change it through there, that's Microsoft for you!!

    no mate, no number lock on. I went out on Saturday, got in at 3am and got a text telling me to get on msn. Switched on and logged in fine - password automatically saved so no need to enter it. Couldn't get on yesterday or today but only read the error message today (suffering too much to read it yesterday) so i tried to retype it but still not having it.

    The only password finders i've come across find them from the password list on the local machine rather than letting you reset them on MSN

    You cant use password crackers for hotmail and to post 6*. Msn don't send the password reset to your email address otherwise you wouldn't need the tool if you can get in. It sends it to your alternate email address you entered upon sign up

    seriously, they send it to your MSN address and give you instructions if you can't log into MSN to get to your email. It tells you that you might have your email password set to 'save my password'. Unbelieveable but true.

    A mate got my password a while ago and did the same with me, you can email hotnmail and they will reset it for you. they reply and ask all the details you signed up with to verify its you.

    good luck
