Recently I discovered I was unable to access my Hotmail account.

Its says someone else has been using it so I tried resetting the password, but I no longer have my "trusted PC" (sold it long ago) and I couldn't remember my security question (a question I made too vague and back in the 90s I think).

I filled out the questionnaire as best I could and sent it to Microsoft several times over the last few weeks but got no reply other than a survey asking me to rate the quality of their response. I gave them the most negative (but polite) feedback as possible. No reply to that either.

I rarely use my Hotmail for actual email but it is linked to several services like my iTunes account so it would be nice to be able to recover it.

Any tips appreciated!
