hotmail problems

[EricG. 0]

Hey, I've been on vacation in Miami for the last week and a bit and I just got a chance to get on the computer for the first time. I'm having a problem signing in to my hotmail account. Anyone else have this problem? I couldn't find a topic about it that's why I'm asking. Now it's not letting me sign in because I've made too many sign in attempts. Could I be having this problem if my account inbox is full? It's really bugging me. Thanks.

Someone could be trying to hack into your account. Never got that error message from hotmail, but there's usually a login delay or account suspension to prevent people from creating automated password hacks.

For some reason my father can login from home, but I can't from here.

Hmmm.... normally I'd say that it's a security feature where you try to log in too many times from a differing IP address, but being as hotmail is meant to be accessed anywhere, I doubt that's the reason. My next guess would be browser settings, but that error message wouldn't suggest that be the problem.

Got me stumped. Anyone else?

You would think it would give an error message to your dad as well. Then again, hotmail has more bugs than a bait shop.

I just got home and cleaned up my inbox. I got in through messenger fine, and now it seems like I can login through hotmail.com to. I just didn't understand why I wasn't able to get in.
