BIG Problem, BIG ISSUE HERE

I have a hotmail e-mail. and starting a couple weeks ago my account was being messed with by someone! and screwed with it. so i changed my password and then like 2 min later it was changed back to my old password. so i keep changing it and leave then come back and its changed again. i have changed my password countless times and still thay figure it out. Someone keeps doing this and it angers me! I changed it on a diff computer so if i had a keylogger or something it wouldnt konw my new password but still the person changed it. and everytime they change it, they change it back to my original password. now today they start changing it to something totally diff. Everytime i get access back to my account i change all my info and secret questions but still.

please help me

this is a serious privacy issue and need this solved and I have no doubt that this is illegal what this person is doing

hmmmm. A person has to know the new password to be able to change it back to the old...Can't see how this is possbile since you've used two different pc's...

"now today they start changing it to something totally diff"-> How did you get back in? Again, you have to know the password inorder to change it...

no you dont.

all you do is go to hotmail
click forgot password
type your e-mail in
tell them your area code
and answer to your secret question and you have access to your acccount to change the pass, and you dont need to know the new password to change it if you do it this way.

It's obviously someone that knows your personal information. I would change your secret question answer to the wrong answer or some letters and numbers.
