    We can't deal with this stuff on chat I'm afraid, account stuff has to be done over the phone, so that's your best bet. Either that or use a different method to reset your password, like your security question or the customer support option. It brings you to Windows Live customer support as opposed to Xbox Support.

    Once you're sorted, maybe you can get creative with your hacker's gmail address? :)

    Do so from an internet cafe, as otherwise your IP will be recorded.

    What difference does it make if they have your IP Address?

    I think the suggestion is that if you were to pay back the hacker in kind, by doing/sending things to their inbox then in order to ensure it isnt traced back to you then use someone neutral like a cafe. depends on the severity of the payback really...personally id just learn from it and move on.

    good news...take the lesson from it...do not enter any personal details on any website/email link that you are not 100% sure of its authenticity.

    Glad you recovered your account.
    Whats 4chan by the way?
