I give up!

This evening I 'Logged In', to my Hotmail Account, mothing unusual there......After about two minutes my system had a 'Wobbly', as a friend of mine calls them. Net result I was Logged Out. When I tried to log back in, bearing in mind that I probably COULD 'Log In' with my eyes closed, I was told that my Password was wrong-however I could Re-Set it.

I followed this option, was asked for a New Password-told not to use one that I'd used before, bloody awkward and difficult that one! However I entered a Brand New, never been used before Password-was told that the 'Duplicates didn't match'. Finally, after about fifteen, yes Fifteen, minutes I finally Re-set my password-I had to have a 'Security Number', sent to my Mobile Phone, however Re-set it was. All I have to do now is Log In.......My Password, this is the one that I had Just Re-set, was wrong!!!!

I just closed down the Application.......What else could I do? What was it that Scotty said, in one of the Original Star Treks-'We're going round in circles, which at Warp Nine, is going no where Very, Very fast!' I might have been at Warp Fifty myself.

all this technology is great, when it works.

Best wishes

Yikes that is not good. I used to get a row for telling my computers at work if they didn't behave I was going to throw them out the window. :-D Since I was a computer programmer I don't think the boss was too happy. I also used to joke with some of the users I fixed problems for that I'd call them back once I'd gone and given the computers a good talking to for misbehaving and if that didn't work I was going to give them a kick. :-D My users thought that was funny, but others in the team I work with were not amused.

Hope you get your problem sorted.

Visions of Basil Faulty and a car!

Made me have a beaming smile, as I too worked with damion things since the early 80' selling them.

Yes this is very frustrating but now very common and we have to accept it or it will send us around the bend!

I dread this happening every time I log into hotmail: will it work or won't it ?

I sit tensed up. Usually it does but occasionally I have to try again, doing the same password exactly the same as previously. Is it worse since outlook ? Difficult to say but I'm glad I have back up email addresses for some peace of mind.
