msn account still locked after 10 hours

Hi there anyone else who can help me.
I read the help files on unblocking accounts, and I had done the password recovery, waited overnight and I am still blocked.
Last night my MSN account was flooded by bots who sent me roughly 369 requests to add them to my contact list. I ended up quitting msn through task bar because my PC was locked up.
When I went to re-enter into my account, found it had been blocked. I have changed my password twice using the alternative email method, and I am still unable to access my account.
I have lodged 2 tickets with no reply from either, could I please have some assistance? Any suggestions on what else I need to do?

To reset your password by providing location information and the answer to your
secret question:
On any Windows Live website or service sign-in page, click Forgot your password.
Enter your Windows Live ID, type the characters you see in the Picture box, and
then click Continue.
Click Use my location information and secret answer to verify my identity.
In the Country/Region list, select the name of your country or region , select
your state, and then type your ZIP code ( The postal code system that is used in
the United States. The ZIP code consists of a series of digits that are added to
a postal address. The ZIP code is used to identify each postal delivery area for
the purpose of sorting mail.) or postal code ( A series of letters and/or digits
that are added to a postal address and used by the postal service for the
purpose of sorting mail.) if you?re prompted to do so. In the Question area in
the Secret Answer box, type your answer to the question.
Click Continue.
Enter and confirm a new password, and then click Continue.
If prompted, enter an alternate e-mail address (An alternate e-mail address is a
secondary e-mail address registered with your Windows Live credentials. In the
event that you forget your password, you can request to have the password reset
information sent to your alternate e-mail address) and click Continue or click
Skip to bypass this step.
On the You've changed your password page, click Sign in to Windows Live.
*and*
Multiple attempts at signing in with the incorrect password might cause your
account to become blocked. If your account becomes blocked, you will be asked to
Match the characters in the picture and sign in again.
If you reset your password or question and secret answer (A question and secret
answer is a feature that allows you to choose a question from a select list and
enter your personal answer to that question. In the event that you forget your
password, you can verify your identity by providing Windows Live with some
limited profile information and the correct answer to your secret question) at
approximately the same time you started experiencing sign-in issues, you need to
allow for the reset to take affect. Please wait 10 minutes before trying to sign
in again.

Locked out of Hotmail for 2 weeks
I'm at my wits end. I've been locked out of my hotmail account for 2 weeks. My problem intensified when I entered the wrong "location information" in order to retrieve my password. I entered my current location (San Diego, CA) instead of the region where I began my account (Boulder, CO). I am now entering the correct location (and I have been for the last 11 days), but the only message I get says "Your account has been blocked, please try again in the future".
I do not have an alternate hotmail account where the password can be sent.
Please help, thank you!

Effective June 1, 2010 this newsgroup will be closed.
Where Should I go with the Closure of this Newsgroup?
Microsoft has a large selection of forums, many of which cover either the
same or closely related technologies to the ones found in the newsgroups.
The forums have seen amazing growth and are an excellent place to continue
the discussion. We recommend that you start with
http://windowslivehelp.com/
Sorry to read that you are having problems with your Hotmail account.
I don�t work for Microsoft or Hotmail, but am a fellow user. Only Hotmail
Support can assist you if the usual password reset means do not work.
�
The account has likely been blocked for one of two reasons � someone has tried
to log in too many times with an incorrect password or Microsoft detected
activity on the account that indicated that the account was compromised � that
is, someone was using the account to send out spam.
This post is the one you want for a blocked account:
http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=6ea0c7b3-1473-4176-b03f-145b951dcb41
�
You need to go to #3 since you cannot access the account.
That sends you here:
https://account.live.com/resetpassword.aspx
�
There are 3 choices on that page, select the 3rd one.
Follow the instructions and links there.
�
I believe that you will end up at a page where you will enter your LiveID and
will then need to type in the characters from the CAPTCHA image to proceed.
�
You will then have 3 options:
Email a reset link
Security Question
Customer Support
�
The first two will likely not work if your account was compromised as you
believe.
So, you�ll select the 3rd option which will present you with a link.
That is the Windows Live Recovery process.
You need to carefully enter your information and provide as much data as
possible to *prove* without a doubt that the account is yours.
Once you fill in the form, you will arrive at a page where you are provided with
a PIN number. Write that PIN number down and do not lose it as you will need it
for the next step which could take 24 hours or more.
If you didn�t provide enough information on the form to verify your ownership,
you will get a reply denying the request *at your alternate contact address
provided in the first step.* If you provided enough information, you will get an
email with instructions on how to reset your account password with that PIN.
When you go through the reset form and arrive at the page with the PIN, you have
the option to contact Support. What you do is copy that PIN, check the little
box on the form and then click the button to contact support. This will launch a
forum post that uses your PIN to create a temporary user and it copies the form
data into the post. You can then click Reply and type a message to the Support
agent that will handle your case. You can provide as much additional information
in that reply as you want to help your case in recovering the account.
�
Assuming you are successful, immediately after logging in, go to your account
information and update all of your security information � security questions,
alternate email address, cell phone, trusted computer, etc. to make recovery
easy in the future.

If this newsgroup is closed, how is it that I can post here?
It isn't the newsgroup that closed, just 'msnews.microsoft.com'. I can still
get here through 'nntp.aioe.org', 'news.eternal-september.org', and
'news.sonic.net'. Among others.

I need to update the text I just started using in these newsgroups.
You are 100% correct. The "official" feed of these newsgroups, originating from
the hosting server that was run by Microsoft has been shut down. These
newsgroups are not widely carried any longer. They will appear on servers that
do not honor the cancel group message. Eventually, more news server providers
will stop carrying them as traffic dies down. More and more peering arrangements
between NSPs are falling by the wayside for these groups, meaning that message
propagation will be sporadic and threads may be incomplete for some people --
missing messages -- depending on the server that the message originated from.
I can currently access these newsgroups via 2 providers, Newsguy and Easynews.

Kay:
I don't disagree that the loss of these newsgroups to a web interface is
unfortunate. In my opinion, there was and is room for both to be officially
hosted by Microsoft. The vast majority of users of Hotmail/MSN/Windows Live are
not using nntp, though. As long as my providers carry these newsgroups I will
keep an eye and lend a hand or provide direction when I can. There are others in
the fairly active Windows Live Mail newsgroup (and I am sure many others that I
don't follow) doing the same -- even if these newsgroups are not widely carried
or peered.
For all Live ID (usually Hotmail) account and sign-in issues, the *only* path to
Support is through the forums and associated resources. In the
WindowsLiveHelp.com forums, Support techs can initiate a secure/private
discussion that can only occur between Support and the customer. It is more
efficient and reliable than email Support (and surely less costly that phone
Support, though I lament the fact that there is no phone support for the free
LiveID/Hotmail users at all).
