Since the OP still has control of the Hotmail account, and had changed passwords, then the "hack" is a spoof. Method 1. Login to your account. If you are still able to access your account, then a quick password change is the easiest way to regain control. Press the gear icon to access settings. The gear icon appears in the upper right corner next to your account name. This is the fourth option below the color swatches and will take you to an options page.
Enter your old and new passwords into the text fields and press Save. You will have to enter your new password twice to ensure there are no typos. Passwords have an 8 character minimum and care case sensitive. Frequent password changes will help prevent future attacks on your account. Set a strong password with a mix of capital and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols.
Login to your account to verify the changes. You should let your contacts know that you have regained control of your account. Method 2. Go to the Microsoft Account login page. Microsoft will sometimes temporarily lock accounts it believes to have been used fraudulently. This button is below the username and password text fields and will take you to the password recovery page. This will take you to the account recovery page. Selecting a reason why you think your account has been compromised is optional and does not impact the recovery process.
Enter the email address you suspect has been compromised into the first text field. For example: examplemail hotmail. The characters appear in an image above the text field. Enter the code onto the page and you will be redirected to reset your password. The email should be one to which you still have access. A window will appear prompting for a security code sent to that email.
If you do not have another email, you can create a new Outlook. You will be redirected to a questionnaire form prompting you for information such as name, birthday, passwords used, recent email subjects or contacts, email folders created, or billing information, in order to help verify that the account in question is yours.
Once the form is submitted, wait up to 24 hours for a response. If the information provided was sufficient you will be provided with a link to reset your account password.
If not, you will receive an email informing you the information was not sufficient to recover your account. The minimum amount will vary based on the amount of information associated with the account. Reset your password. If you received a password reset link, you will be taken to a page to create a new password for your account.
Method 3. Login to your recovered account and press the gear icon to access settings. If you recover your account and find it changed to a foreign language you can reset it from the settings menu. All language listings will display in their native alphabets. Method 4.
If you think some of your mail has been deleted when your account was compromised, it may be recoverable. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Recover Deleted Messages. There is not a specified time range in which deleted emails can be recovered. Any emails that could not be recovered are lost forever. Messages that remain in the Deleted folder will get deleted and removed periodically. Moving the messages you want saved out of the Deleted folder will make sure that the emails are not lost again.
