Really, it can happen to the best of us.

As far as I know the Messenger freezer tools like you describe still allow you to sign in to Hotmail. IF you can't sign in to Hotmail anymore it's likely you were a victim of getting your password stolen too. It doesn't have to be by email phishing like Cookie describes, that only refers to the list of over 10,000 which was in the news recently, but passwords get stolen by the masses all the time.

Follow all of the instructions on the windowslivehelp site Cookie linked to, there are multiple things you can try described there.

/me bookmarks Cookie's link.
Finally a direct link to the eform where you don't have to write a tutorial on how to reach the form.
