Help! Can’t access hotmail account.

I changed my email password a couple days ago and cannot for the life of me recall what I changed it to.  I clicked the "cannot access account" option..went through the steps to reset using an alternate email address.  Would get a link emailed but every time I try to open it it says: ...errorcode=106 in the URL and the message reads: there's a temporary problem...try again later.  After a whole day of this I tried accessing a new link by filling out a questionnaire recording recent activity on that account and was then mailed a link...same issue.  It's important that I access the account as I have some time sensitive issues to deal with...is the link corrupted in someway of is the server having issues?  Please Heeelllpppp!!'
