I received a text message proporting to be Microsoft giving me a password reset 7 digit code.   I also received a "Twitter" reset request in my hotmail account. Since I never requested a password reset and do not have a twitter account, what is going on?
Please help me recover my account,

Trying to sign into XBOX live and have forgotten my windows live password, when i try to get a reset password the email address that it wants to send a reset password link has been closed, so i tried to recover my password to be sent to a different email address but it says i havnet provided enough information for them to send me a password reset,

Please reply ASAP
When I tried to log in, I clicked "forgot password" or whatever the link is. The password reset link was set to my other linked account, but it was also sent to a linked account that isn't mine. I went ahead with the password change anyway.
After logging in, I was shown the message saying that my account had been hacked and I needed to unblock my account with a code. However, the code could only be sent to the other linked account, the one that is not mine.
Any ideas on how I am supposed to fix this? I am so stumped, I've tried just about everything I can think of.

I was trying to set up a password reset account for my website using your SMTP server and kept getting an authentication error.  After exhausting everything I could think of I changed my password to something much simpler and shorter and it started working. Here is the 25 character password I was trying to use:

(removed PII)

I'm not sure if there is a special character it didn't like or if it was the length but I could log into the account at hotmail.com just fine with it.

 

Can you tell me what the password restrictions are for SMTP authentication?
