If you cannot change password via conventional methods (ie - through security answer or alternate email address), it first needs to be verified.  You can initiate the process of recovering your hotmail account here:

https://windowslivehelp.com/PasswordReset.aspx

When you get your account verified and change the password, it should be changed to at least 7 characters, contain upper and lower case letters, numbers, and a special character. 

I would also scan your PC for viruses/spyware/malware.  I good free AV tool I use is Avira.  It can be found here.  Good luck to you.
