Hello Xuan-Vinh,
Thank you for contacting MSN Messenger Technical Support. My name is Clemen and I will be assisting you with this issue. First, I would like to apologize for the delay in response to you. We have received an unusually high number of e-mails in the past few days, making it difficult to respond as quickly as we would like.
According to your email, you think you were hacked and you would like for us to give you your password. The error you receive
The following conditions may apply:
- The cached Microsoft Passport Network credentials may be incorrect.
- Your Passport Network account may have expired.
- Your password may be incorrect.
- Your Passport Network account may be blocked because you tried to sign in too many times.
