I Have Been Unable To Access My Hotmail Account For The Last Twenty-four Hours.

Hotmail has been denying me acces to my e-mail for the last twenty-four hours, even though I used the same password that has worked for the last six months. Hotmail's "help" center really proides no help at all-it does not even contain a phone number to call. Please help.

After several unsuccessful sign in attempts, Windows Live ID automatically sets a "locked out" period. This prevents access to your account, even when the correct password is supplied for security reasons.
