Is there anyway I can get my hotmail account active again? It want let me login and says the account is locked because of trying to login to many times with an invalid password.

I tryed the reset password option, but it says that the account information doesn't match.

Is there anyone at Microsoft/MSN/Hotmail I can email to resolve this issue? or am I just out of luck? I haven't used an invalid password though.

I admit it.. it was I who used wrong passwords, trying to get into your account ;)

Actually, I think they just lock them for a certain amount of time - I'm not positive though. Seems to me that when I was going through the possible passwords I might have used on a hotmail account years ago that it said something about too many attempts and to try again later.
