Does anyone know how to actually contact a live person for Hotmail.com?

All of a sudden they are telling me to enter a new password after several years of having the same one and not having it lost or compromised. You cannot even e-mail them through the site. They have never asked me to change it before....now all of a sudden they are. Makes no sense. Thanks.

Beavis and Butthead: Ha, ha, he said hot(male).

Anyways, make sure you are not on a phishing site (spoof) site is the only suggestion I can give you right now.

How to reach a live person:
I was able to just continually press "#" (took about 5-6 times) until the recording said something like, "Sorry, you will need to speak to a person..." and then they transferred me.

They forced me to change mine yesterday too. I have had Hotmail since May 1997, and they forced me to change one other time as well. Not really a problem since it was probably time to update that password anyway.

Thanks for all the info. It just sounded fishy to me at first.

My hotmail account was hacked into two weeks ago. Someone sent out a bunch of emails to all my contacts. I had to change my password too. It was the first time I had to change since it was created in the 90's. The problem seems to be fixed.
