New account set up not complete & now Microsoft will not allow me to access it ?!

I was creating a new hotmail.co.uk account. After several attempts at various email names, it finally accepted one.  

It had accepted the new account name and I had typed a password into the box.

However, my iPad battery failed just before I was able to finish the online setup process.  

I have tried verifying my account but Microsoft doesnot recognise my requests since I have not started using the account so there is no account history etc. 

I want the name as it is very specific.

Can you help?

Thanks
