Long story but my missus Hotmail account has been altered. Her password wont work and she cant get onto it to change her details. Is there anyway of changing her details and security questions etc. The Live help doesnt "help" much.

Is there an email address for Live that we can send some details too to get Live to reset everything with a temp password?

Any help will be most welcome as she has some important emails to read and sort through.:)
 
Just go to the forgotten password bit, answer the security question and it should reset the password and let her in
 
nothing u can do what so ever

if all the details have been changed


Unless you are one of them that pay hotmail money they wont help

i was in the same boat as your G/F i called them up and they said they cant help

best beat is to stop using free addys and use one that your isp gives you then get a Dot net pass on that

if your addy does then get hacked you can call your isp and get it back again

If that has been changed then contact support to get the account back. I think you have to provide certain details (roughly how many contacts etc.).
EDIT: I've heard this before but not entirely sure it it's true.

I'd be so gutted if my account got hijacked. :(

Look at my post above you cant or never used to be able to
 
She tried the answering the secret question thing the other day but couldnt get access. The alternate email didnt work either. I tried again tonight to reset it and the secret answer thing worked and it had her alt email too. very strange..

Her face book acc was hacked too. Whoever did it found out her two passwords (FB and Hotmail one). They was easy to find out which I kept telling her. The face book hacker altered everything on her account there. He/she even sent me screen grabs of private messages she has with work friends, The hacker knew my email address and the fact I was related in some way with her. It all started a big argument and the fact is we nearly split up over the course of 2 days..:( All sorted now though. She has made new security details and new passwords.
 
Security questions are easy to sort out. Tell her to change the question and answer around, like "Where were you born" and the answer would be "my mother's maiden name". and so on

Im glad this thread has appeared. Myself and my missus both have FB accounts and on Tuesday morning I logged in to mine and checked on my missus one to see if she has added anything and to send her a fish:rolleyes:. Under the headings you see at the top eg, In a releationship, looking for friednship/random play etc. She had; Single, looking for men, looking for releationship, and play. :eek::(

Needless to say I was a little worried, so I called her and told her what I saw. She denied it all. She was only on it the night before and nothing changed, which I can witness.

Her password was reset. Some how someone found out her FB password AND her MSN (reg address with FB) password. I said it could be someone from work. I also told her to use a stronger password and not one people will know like "pets names" etc She used the same password for both FB and MSN.

To cut a long story short she though it was me messing around and interferring with her privacy. So she set me up hoping I would get back to her asking about certain things.

I had a message from some random person on MSN saying "X likes X being done" I questioned my missus she denied it. I was I know seh gets on well with a certain person at work. They are close but I would never think for one minute she would do anything. Later that night I got 3 screen grabs of her private chat screens on FB. I wont go into detail but its screamed AFFAIR and the like.

I called her, text her all night and nothing not one reply. I got a text message yesterday morning saying stuff, I called her and explianed what I have seen and how I felt betrayed etc . You can see my point. I told her about this random person sedning me stuff who had access to her FB. We have sorted it out for now.

The thing is I love her and trust her but its going to be hard to not think about the fact I nearly lost her. I was was going to call it all off.

Did I do right, wrong or am/was being stupid?

FACE BOOK STINKS.:mad:

if she using live she should have set up an alternate email address which she can use to contact the msn people in such situations.
Ywars ago this happened to my sisters and i emailed them from my account and shortly after they reset it for her

She did have one to her work address but nothing came through to it.:confused: We checked tonight as we was resetting everything and it was there. I could have been a email error on her work email system, if there can be such a thing.
 
A mate of mine came round one evening and asked to "borrow" some log in time and to help hack his GF's account..
He'd had his suspicions for a while and what he then read on there didn't do him any favours.
What a vile bitch she turned out to be.

Can have it's uses !!
 
had a thread about this going for about a week now for my gf...we managed to get it back for a day and then its been hacked again, with what i would call a very secure password!!
 
its my laptop...no virus scans or anything have brought a single thing up, plus it was only formatted about a month ago and since then firewall + virus protection been on all time and i do regular scans and all windows updates are done

My missus only accessed her facebook at our house on this PC (secure) and at work and once at her mates house (who isnt THAT PC knowledgable so anything could be on there). Its the work PC that has me worried as most big companys use monitoring software to track employees email and internet usage etc. This also logs key presses.:(

I still think its someone from her work who either fancies her or hates me due to me being with her, hence why he/she sent me those chat messages via screen grab.

No they just get on well. My missus is a very easy woman to get on with, friendly and out going.. everyone loves her who has met her. The bloke is a line manager for the work place and my missus is a HR clerk. Nothing going on. But after reading those message it seemed like there was but as posted my missu and the bloke did that on purpose to set me up, thinking it was me that was messing with her Hotmail and FB accounts..

She was adiment (sp) that its not easy to change passwords etc in those 2 applications.
