Hotmail account not found when trying to recover password

Hi,

I used to have a hotmail account named ***.  My last access to the account was back 2009.  Now I can no longer log in using that account.  I tried to recover the password but the system keeps saying account is not found.

Could someone help?

I think there was a similar question posted by someone else in this forum but there was no follow up solution.  So i thought I'd post it again for help

Thanks
