Hello,
i've received and e-mail telling me that someone might have been accessing my e-mail acount. so i decided to change my password. i've changed to a 18 characters password. the thing is, when i was changing my password they let me put a 18 characters pass, but now, when i try to login they only accept 16 characters. then i tried the password recover question but for some reason my answer (wich i know it is correct) isn't accepted. i have downloaded some programs to recover passwords but they can only work when it (password) was stored in the computer. i really need help, i've the most important business in my e-mail acount and i can't afford loosing them

the best solution would be to contact the email host support directly and explain the situation, as you may have been victim of a email password scam, they trick people into changing passwords etc and steal your account.
thank you so much for your help. i've followed your advise, now it's just a matter of waiting for hotmail's answer (something i'm not quite sure that might happen)
thank you

no problem, a friend of mine had a similar issue and it took about 7 days for them to reply with his password info etc.
