MSN...not recognising name/password

My MSN is telling me that it is not recognising my name/password and to try again. I 100% know that they are correct. It happened to me a while ago and i tried for days and days but wouldnt let me on. Had to get a new user name in the end which totally sucked because it meant that I lost all my contacts from ages ago because I couldn't access their email addresses.


Grrr has anyone else experienced this?
Any ideas to try?

    Why dont you make a back up of your contact list so that in future if this sort of thing happens again and you cannot log in and are forced to make a new account you need only import the contacts list ?

    It's very easy to do
