No success with Hotmail sign up. I am told that the password is incorrect and I have to type it again. This is very frustrating because I need to open some really important emails on this Hotmail account.

Ever since my son was here on holidays, I cannot open my Hotmail because I see only his emails. Earlier, I used to click on the icon and my emails would come up. What is going on? Where have my emails gone? I hope they haven’t vanished because I had some really important stuff there.
