Why can I no longer log into my account at hotmail?

Asked by lilakess (789points) August 2nd, 2007

Mysteriously, I've stopped being able to log into my account (for about a week plus now). It happened all of a sudden for no apparent reason. I can't remember my "secret question" and I'm sure my password is right anyway. I can't get in there to give an alternate email address and there's no phone number to call. Is there anything I can do?

When was the last time you checked your email? A decade ago, I had an old hotmail.com account and it closed after a certain amount of time. I don't know if the rules changed or not since then.

Strangely, it’s back to work, with a cleaned out account.
