The first thing you should do is change your password. 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:

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.
