I don't use hotmail, but isn't there a password reset facility / helpdesk?

How complex was your previous password? Upper, lower, numbers and punctuation?

Have you scanned your PC for viruses and key loggers?

The forgotten password link will only be of use if you have a secondary email address setup and linked with the hotmail address, otherwise you cant log into you email to get the reset password as its been hijacked.

hopefully you have setup this secondary address if not i will have a search for a link in one of my old emails that takes you to the place to sort it.
