The first thing you should do is reset your password. You can reset your password here. It will ask for your Windows Live ID (which is your hotmail email address). You will also have to enter characters to verify it is a person requesting access and not a program. After answering your security answer, you will have access to create a new password. To prevent your account from being hacked in the future, make it a strong password. This means including lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters. It should also at least be 8 characters.
