Hotmail - Unable to sign in

My MSN Hotmail account refuses to accept my password. No matter how many times i reset my password, it continually tells me it is incorrect. Obviously because of this i am unable to access my e mail and i would appreciate any help greatly.

NOTE: I can actually sign into Messenger


I'm using Windows XP Home

IE 7

MSN Messenger Live

throught the website... my friends can all check their mail too..

 

Have you tried signing in from a different computer? something funky may be going on with the keyboard.

also when your in messenger, can you click the mail icon to go to your inbox

 

cookies as well as security settings ?
keyboard locks on ?
a firewall or 3rd party firewall settings ?
Have you tried firefox as an alternate browser and / or reverting to ie 6 ?

 

all sorted now.


uninstalled MacAfee



**** McAfee........

 

check,

1) Your caps are not on - although you should catch that when entering your email address
2) Is your browser accepting cookies
3) Are you behind a firewall or hardware firewall that is restricting you ?
4) Perhaps two pop up or more blockers . Turn off the windows xp one.
Go into view toolbars and uncheck extra toolbars.
5) Not using IE 7 yet. I would try to reset settings to defaults- especially the ones dealing with security and cookies. Try setting them ever lower.

I am rambling here.
1) check your caps
2) run a spyware scan - adaware or whatever that is updated
3) Turn off pop up blockers including windows
4) See if you can go sign on with firefox as an alternate browser
