Can't Change My Password? URGENT?

Question

I forgot my password for my HOTMAIL, so I tried to change it. I forgot my secret answer, but when I remembered it and tried to enter it in, a message came up saying "This option is temporarily unavailable because incorrect information was entered too many times. Please try another reset option or try again later." How long do I have to wait? It's been roughly 18 hours, how much longer do I have to wait?

Answer 2

If you've forgotten your password and the answer to your secret question, fill up the "Account Password Recovery" form. Here, you will need to provide all the information you can about your account, such as contacts in your account, extra folders you made, specific e-mails you received, etc. If the online agents can confirm that it is YOUR account, they'll send you a reset link to another e-mail address that you can provide. They'll also give you a key that you'll be able to use to contact the agent via the private forum.
