No, the use of a wireless connection utility, no matter how badly written,
can't cause your password to be rejected, in an of itself. I will only say
<snip>
I'm not understanding your account of the connections issues you've had with
respect to Public vs. Private settings. It is okay for you to use Private
settings in Vista ONLY if you are behind a router with address translation
and stateful packet inspection. I would imagine that, if you do not have a
separate router, you may have a combination broadband modem / router. If
there is no router involved, and if you have your network settings in Private
mode, you are sharing any file shares / printers / whatever to the Internet.
NOT a good thing. (May I assume that there is no third party "security suite"
(Symantec / Norton, McAfee) involved?)

I keep my hotmail / live login synchronized. I'm not sure you can
UNsynchronize them these days. Oscar may well have steered you in the right
direction here. You can try the password reset, but by all means contact
technical support at Hotmail if the reset doesn't work. It's time to be in
touch with a human on the support team.


It definitely is my Vista computer that is causing me to not be able to login to my Windows Live hotmail. I logged in with no problem from my XP [sp2] desktop computer. I followed the cookie enabling setup and put the live zone in my trusted sites. It went from not recognizing my password [and looping the "either the password of login is wrong" error message, to clicking on login and having 10 popup connection windows opening in a cycle I can't stop until it is finished.

Ok, it is a vista setting, and it is not the HP auto wireless connection tool. So what threw my computer into this unable to log into my hotmail account? My secure setting is on the default medium setup.

I was afraid to reset my account becasue if I can't get in with my known password, and it works fine on another computer, I could really screw things up. I know now it is not a hijack.

I will try to find where to contact hotmail support.
