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

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.
