you guys have been a great help

it is a hotmail account right?
here is how you get it back,
1) make another email
2) go to this link
https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?...ion&ct=eformcs
fill this form with as much details as possible and give them the email you wish to get a reply on
when the windows live support team makes sure you are the original owner of the email, they will reset the password and email it to you within a few days
my friend had her email stolen before and she filled this form, and she got her email back
