So, somebody hacked my hotmail account, And changed the password. I can't remember the answer to my security question...And I don't have an alternate email...Is there any way to get my email back? And if not, how do I cancel my account?

My hotmail account was hacked by some freak too. And he/she changed my security question and password too. I'm sorry about your account... Microsoft is unable to help you out, unfortunately, please see this link: http://ask-leo.com/ive_lost_my_hotmail_password_can_you_help_get_it_back.html To help prevent this in the future: Don't use free email accounts for anything important. It's not worth it. If your free email account and all the information in it went away tomorrow, would that be a problem for you? If so ... move now. Choose good passwords. It's tough given the number of accounts and passwords we all need to remember, but the fact is choosing a hard-to-guess password and changing it regularly are important steps you can take to avoid someone stealing your account. Remember your secret answer. I'm kind of surprised I even have to say this, but when you create an account that asks you for a secret question and answer, don't treat it lightly. It doesn't have to be true, just make sure it's something you'll remember in a year or two when (not if) you have a problem. Don't use "remember me" when logging in. At least, don't use it unless you're positive it's safe. If someone else walks up to the computer (be it in an internet cafe, or in your bedroom or office) and "remember me" is selected, they can now login as you without knowing your password. And then they can change your password, locking you out of your own account. And as always, scan for viruses and spyware regularly. Millions of people get their account hacked regularly. I changed all of my passwords and onto every site that I've registered to.

If hotmail is anything like yahoo mail, you are screwed.

Are you sure it's your account, or are you kidding us?

in Hotmail click Help... then type "Cancel account" in Search window... it will tell you.
