Hi,

I have a question regarding hotmail, they hacked into my email. I've lost
all my contacts I haven't been getting any e-mails. Can you let me know the

1. Hotmail Support
Hotmail Online Solutions Center
- requires creation of a username/pw that will also be linked to a Live ID
- Live ID username is **Not** visible to the public
- Do **Not** use the same password for the Solution Center Account that's used
for your Live ID
