.NET Passport Account Blocked

Hi, ive got probs checking my Hotmail acount through Outlook Express and even the website. The error message i get is:

Quote:

You have made too many unsuccessful sign-in attempts with an incorrect password for: example@hotmail.com Your account is temporarily unavailable. This is a temporary delay that helps prevent someone else from guessing or obtaining your password. You can: Wait a few moments and then try to sign in again. Reset your password, if you can't remember it

I have reset my password numerous times, signing in then was fine after but it has gone back to how it was.

What can i do about it?

From the sound of things OE may be trying to log in with an old password.. Have you changed the password in OE each time you've reset it?

*NB, M$ now have content filters in place.. you would get this message if you try sending hardcore porn through your account

Sounds like someone's making a determined attempt to crack your account :disturbd: Not sure what you can do about it though, except make sure you reset your password again and make sure it's a tough one to guess ... use a mix of upper and lower case letters, and numbers.
