I got the same thing for 3 days now...wierd thing is that I haven't accessed
my account in months so I know I didn't request a password reset. Someone
must really want to get into my email account...

In any case, my recommendation would be to NOT use the links provided in the
email. Instead, access your Live / Hotmail Account yourself (i.e.
www.hotmail.com) and then change your password once logged on. At least this
way you KNOW that you changed it.

If the email happens again, guess it's time to start finding out who's
trying to hack my account...
*Hopes a MS Rep. looks at this thread soon*
