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

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.

Re: .NET Passport Account Blocked
Sounds like someone's making a determined attempt to crack your account 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.
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
I always have OE ask me for my password everytime i go into it. Its a pain getting OE to remember it because when you want to change it you have to go into all the settings. So to save time i just get it to ask me for the passwords.
