HELP!! I've been locked out of my msn email account

[penguindreams]

and I don't know how to get back in!!! MSN has completely shut me down...I
don't know how I did this exactly, but I've tried several times to re-access
with no luck. When I've tried to reset my password, I get a message saying
that instructions will be sent to my email...but I can't access my email...so
I can't get the instructions...really bad catch 22 going on. My biggest
concern is that the email address that's locked down is my family's primary
email account and we get tons of information there throughout the day...I
have to get back in. I don't want to read pages of FAQs...I've tried that and
it was no help at all. I need a REAL PERSON to help me and talk me through
this. Thanks. WM

And have you contacted MSN or Hotmail Support about this? Are you an MSN
Premium subscriber?

Hi,
Honestly, I think I've clicked on every help link I can find! I'm sure I've
asked this question of the wrong people or group, but I'm just shooting in
the dark and very frustrated. I don't know if I'm a "premium subscriber"
(which probably means I'm not), but I don't even know what "premium
subscriber" means. We set up this email account years ago and just use it for
basic email stuff. We set it up before we had any alternate email accounts,
so there is not any alternate listed for our profile THEREFORE, any
information about resetting our password or gaining access is being sent to
the very email account that we CAN'T access.
We've had some email correspondence with someone in some tech support
position, but no resolution yet...don't know if or when it will come. I just
really wish there could be some personal contact (e.g., a phone call). I'm
willing to put my phone number out there if someone with MSN email support
would call me back.

Please don't post your phone number. That's not safe on newsgroups. :)

If you go to http://support.live.com, select Windows Live ID and complete
the form, an agent will be able to help. If you have done that and it's been
longer than 24 hours, please post the number your received in your email.

Hi there,
Join the club. We lost our main email account last night, tried putting in
password, won't recognise it, now saying that email doesn't exist either.
there is no phone number to ring unless you pay to subscribe, (con or what).
Cannot reset password because we didn't have alternate email address,
doesn't even recognise secret question.
Also get fed up with MSN having to "close down because of technical problem
caused by them" when midway through filling in form details, having to keep
logging back in & starting again.
Don't get any of these problems when we go through Orange.
So you are not alone.

Con? They offer a free service, and they are willing to invest as much money
in supporting the service as you are willing to pay to use it. They also
offer a paid service, and are willing to invest as much money in supporting
that service as you are willing to pay to use it.

Do you want support? Pay for it.

I've got the same problem and no results. I am not at all pleased at all with MSN and this difficulty. the phone numbers don't, there's no live person and it just stinks!!!

Would appreciate any true valid help available.
