the first thing you should of done was used the secret question to change the password back, although he has prob already changed it, there used to be a few ways of retreiving hotmail passwords (something we did almost daily to each other at school :lol: ) but hotmail have revamped their security so what worked 2 or 3 yrs ago wont now, i would try th secret question, then contact msn or hotmails online help, as you dont want them to catch you hacking in to an account even though its your own,

or you can always contact them;

i would also contact all the people in your contact list to let them know, perhaps get them to block emails from the address until you regain control of it.

Contact Hotmail via email, and provide all the important information (that used to exist):
- Email address
- Alternate email address
- Full name
- Location
- Password
- Security question
- Age
- How long you've had the email address
- The threats you've recieved
- Your current email address (for confirmation)
Another helpful thing to do would be to send the message from your (old) alternative email address. Hopefully, they will respond and help you out.

Good luck.
