how to retreive hotmail password when one cannot remember the answers to all the questions...i have many photos in my hotmail account that i need to retreive..i have failed the validation process twice.  i do not have an xbox live account and not sure about some of the answers relating to state and post code as my daughter set up the account a few years ago. 

i have tried to use the security code option but as my daughter set up the account i do not know what phone number she used and she doesnt remember either.  i have put my mobile phone number in but did not receive the code.  i have also tried sending the password reset to the email addresses attached to the account but dont know whose they are as my daughter set up the account and she doesnt remember either or they dont exist anymore.
the photos and contacts are the most important to me...if you could please just

I changed my hotmail password on my PC. Now my iPad demands my hotmail password, never done this before. When I put in new password iPad says it is incorrect. Because of this iPad is blocked, cannot use it at all.

After having the same password for a long time, I was asked to change it.  Ok, it was overdue anyway.  But not much later, I was forced to change it again.  Does anyone know how long Hotmail passwords are supposed to last?  (I do not have the expire in 72 days enabled)

My email was hacked and spam sent to all of my contacts (only 4 spam emails were in my sent folder).  I've changed the hotmail password and am in the process of changing my other passwords as a precaution.  During the process about 40 minutes ago I noticed that I received three delivery status notification delays.  I think the spam emails are still trying to be delivered but I'm not 100% sure.  If I'm right, is there anyway to stop them and prevent others from being sent?
