Re: Been hacked and cant acsess account or email

Greetings,

You'll need to contact Windows Live ID services. In some cases they can help you recover
your account or at the least, make sure the other can't be used:
https://support.live.com/default.aspx?productkey=wlid

After clicking the link, choose any option from the FAQ on the left, then choose 'Get more
help' at the bottom right, and then 'Get more support'.
