Cant log in to hotmail account

Open the Hotmail website. Go to https://www.hotmail.com/ in your computer's web browser. Since Hotmail has been merged with Microsoft Outlook, this will redirect you to the Microsoft Outlook login page.

• If doing this opens your Outlook inbox, you're already logged into your account.
• If your inbox opens to a different person's account, sign out by clicking the profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen and then clicking Sign out in the resulting drop-down menu.

Click Sign in. It's in the middle of the page.
Enter your Hotmail email address. In the "Email, phone, or Skype" text box, type in the email address that you use for your Hotmail account.

• If you haven't logged into your Hotmail account in over 270 days (or within 10 days of creating the account), it will be deleted and you'll need to make a new account.[1]

Click Next. It's below the text box.
Enter your password. Type your account's password into the "Password" text box.

• If you don't know your password, you'll need to reset your password before proceeding.

Click Sign in. This is below the "Password" text box. As long as your account's login information is correct, this will open your inbox.

If you gave him your password and your username for your email account or for your messenger account then he can log in to your account and change the password to one only he knows. If he can get into your email he can read all your old emails. If you use the same password for multiple accounts, he can keep guessing at what accounts you might have and try the password. Even if you have accounts that don't use the same password but use your email address to log into, he can try to log into those with your email address and say he doesn't remember your password and they'll email him a new one.
Sounds like you're screwed. Call your ISP (Internet service provider)

Hi anthony ,,
When you bring up your hotmail sign in page right under where you would put in your password , it will say " Forgot password " click on that and type in your email address , and it will send your password to you , but seems how you cant log in to get it , create another account and email the problem to them requesting your old password .............Good luck Roy

First make sure the Internet is working.
If it is then try to login with the same username and password on www.hotmail.com if you can log in then it's a problem with outlook express if you cant then that is the problem.
To make sure outlook express is correct click on Tools, Accounts then click on Mail tab and then click on your email address and select properties make sure the username and password are correct or retype them.
