I cannot reset my hotmail password after being hacked. The reset link opens up an error page!

My hotmail account was hacked a week ago on the long weekend and I had it varified so that I could re gain access to it. Microsoft sent me an email saying all I had to do was re set my password and my email was good to go. The only problem is that I cannot re set my password. The link takes me to an error page that says it is a temporary error and that I need to try again later. This has been going on for a week now. I have tried different links and different ways to get to the re set password page and they all direct me to the same error. I have tried the link off of my laptop computer, my phone, my home computer, different browsers, etc. Is there another way I can re set my password to re gian access to my account?? I need to use this email address it is important and I have been using it for a long time now. It is my primary email account and I am missing important information by not being able to access it. What can I do?
