Hotmail I am receiving unwanted email from a hotmail address which is very personal and unwanted. How do I trace the owner of this account to inform the police?

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.

Recover a Hijacked Hotmail Account
Hotmail is one of the older free Web-based email services.
Unfortunately, its age and its popularity can make it a target for hackers and other online troublemakers.
If your Hotmail account is hijacked, the hacker may change your password to keep you from logging back in to the account.
Fortunately, Microsoft gives users the opportunity to prove that a hijacked account is really theirs so that changed passwords and stolen accounts can be recovered by their rightful owners.
Attempt to log in to your Hotmail account.
If you receive a message saying that your username or password is incorrect, click the "Forgot Your Password?" link under the password field.
A page will load giving you three options for resetting your password.
Click the "I Think Someone Else Is Using My Windows Live ID" option on the password reset page. Click the "Reset Your Password" link in the instructions that appear.
Enter your Hotmail account address in the "Windows Live ID" field and type the characters that appear in the captcha image in the "Characters" field.
Click "Next" to continue the password reset process.
Select an option for resetting your password when prompted.
If you have a secondary email account included with your Hotmail account, clicking "Email Me a Reset Link" will send a link to that account which lets you reset your password.
Clicking "Security Question" prompts you with the security question you set up previously, allowing you to reset your password after answering correctly.
If neither of these options work for you, click "Customer Support" to contact Hotmail customer support and have your password reset.
Click "Next" after selecting an option.
Enter a new password when you receive access to the password reset screen.
Hotmail recommends that you create a strong password with a combination of letters, numbers, symbols and varying capitalization to make it more difficult for would-be hijackers to guess it.
Run a thorough antivirus and spyware search on your computer to make sure that you don't have a keylogger or other password-theft software installed on your PC
Such software could allow a hacker to gain access to your account again after the password has been reset.

simply changing your password should be ok. Also be careful not to respond to the email. Do not reply or give anyone your password
