Hello,

When I try to log in to Hotmail using my other account, I get the message "It looks like someone else might be using your account". On the next screen I get "There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later."

I have tried this on several computers using Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. This is going on for several days now. Please suggest on how to solve this.

Regards,

Arthur

    There are only opinions and suggestions offered here.

    If you want to actually solve any problems with your account, you have to deal with MSN "support".

    Here is how it works.

    You fill out a form and state your problem.

    Then wait forever.

    If you do actually get a response from "support", you get to go round and round in circles for days on end until you want to pull out your hair.

    Then you come back here and look for answers.

    Read these posts.

    This is how it works.

    And Oh yeah,

    Good luck.

    Yeah, that helps when trying to log in, but not for other problems such as trying to close your account or being locked out of your account.

    Also, good luck.

    I used a tip mentioned by one of the users on this thread and it worked for me. Don't try to login normally to hotmail. Instead choose forgot password and have hotmail send you a reset password link (to another email address) Now rest your password and login with the new one. Good luck.
