Hi Leo, I created a account with hot mail and I can't remember username or password. What can I do? The help info just talks about password not user ID

If you can login to hotmail but the account apears 'frozen' and you cannot access emails send emails etc try setting the 'away on holiday'gizmo. I had issues; set this to divert my regular mailers to another account - and the account worked as normal. Took the message off and the account froze again. This was on a company network - the account worked fine outside work - so some real wierd coding issues here.

At some time in the past I Checked the box on hotmail to remember my password. Now I have roommates that use my computer. How can I go back to needing a password to open hotmail?

Congratulations. I have visited many sites but no one could give a solution for hotmail. Because by the grace of God I am a genius , Hahhaha, I have found a solution. I have recently installed K-Meleon Browser kmeleon.sourceforge.net/, And volla I have successfully logged on my hotmail as well as my yahoo account where as couldn't login in firefox. Install this browser and you are good to guy. There is no problem with hotmail and I was cursing the poor guys previously wrongly.

If you tpe in https://login.live.com it should take you to the log in page. Hope this helps. Mine was off for 3 days and this is the only way I can access it

MSN Hotmail has locked me out completely! They said it has to do with their terms. I have not done anything and have had this account for 5+yrs. My ex has gone into my email and created all this mess and MSNHOTMAIL will not work with me. I use my e-mail for my business and really need my e-mails and contacts.Is there anything I can do. NEVER EVER give your password out I have learned the hardway!

I have been logging onto hotmail with this computer for years, and suddenly I get this error message for the past couple of days:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

More information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

I am connected to the internet.
I can go to hotmail.com, but this comes up when I click "sign in"
I have cleared the cache and all cookies, reset all ie settings to original, checked to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section, tried another service provider, still the same error.

An unauthorized person has accessed by account by sending an email from MSN Hotmail asking me to visit a web site to "re-verify" my account. I have found out the email was almost certainly not legitimate, and the website was almost certainly not MSN Hotmail. Even if it looked like it, it was probably a hacker attempting to get my personal information. Now I cannot access my MSN Hotmail account at all and have no solutions. Can anyone suggest what I should do?

I can't get into my messages. It says something to the effect that this object or report is not observered. I can't delete messages and I can't read them. What's going on. I can't seem to get help. Is there a phone number I can call.
