Ring MSN tell them about the problem, they ask you a few questions and the like they will be able to help you out if you can prove that you own the web address.

Keep us informed as to your progress if you require further assistance.

If you can't do that then your screwed

Or rather get your boss to contact hotmail, as they won't help you because it's not your account.

We can't help.

But if your boss is stupid enough to fill out a form asking for his email address AND password, then he deserves what he gets, sorry.

All he can do is create another account, try to remember everyone on his contacts list, and inform them of his new account and to ignore any from his old account.

After you get this rectified, you need to educate your boss about EMAIL scams. An ounce of prevention....blah...blah...blah
