i am in a mucking fuddle can anyone please help?

i have forgotten my password on my hotmail email address and cannot for the life of me remember what it is.  i cant even remember the answer to the trigger question i set myself for exactly this kind of thing happening, stupidly i thought i wouldnt choose mothers maiden name or anything as people who know me would know the answer to that. 

recently, i changed my password in an effort to be security conscious and now the dingbat that i am i have totally forgotten what it is. i havent used it for a week or so.  is there anything i can do to gain access to my email account as i have pictures on there which are of sentimental value if it was just junky kind of emails i wouldnt be so bothered about it. any advice would be appreciated thanks in advance

hope ur right pinotage cos imracking my brains (or brain cell to be specific) and i cant think of what it is
When you're not thinking about it there is still a part of your brain that is.

Have you made sure that your CAPS lock is not on when you are typing in what you think it is??

yeah have tried with and without caps tried the old password tried everything i can think of its driving me mad how frustrating grrrr thx for help tho cockney_si
I'd have thought whatever security question you set instead of mother's maiden name would only have a limited possible number of answers.  Though i guess you have tried everything you can think of!
