Why does it try to send the NEW password to your Current email address- which is LOCKED----- doesn't this totally defy the logic of getting around a blocked email account in the first place???

wtf?

She's forgot answer to the favourite question ASWELL...

so what should she do???

If she's trying to reset a password it shouldn't go to the actual email account....it should go to a page where she has to answer her secret question(s) which once done will reset it to a random pass.
Without the sercret question answers though it's pretty useless.

Could try and brute force it?

looks as though there is no getting around this....may have to set up a new e-mail account...

    she can't sign in.... its locked
    she has forgotten her secret answer to the question.....
    She tried to change her password - which got sent to the same LOCKED account.... which she can't access ..lol
    there is no contact support number of any kind...

so basically if you forget your secret answer... and your password.. your fecked...

live.com will have a contact support form on it - it handles the Hotmail logins.

How successful she will be is anyones guess.... :)
I've no idea how she will prove she owns the account

Generally thats why you put in a second email address for when this does happen.

Use this: https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?pro ... ct=eformcs

Your pretty well knackered if they don't believe you though.
