Hotmail password

[FunkyG]

My hotmail has been sending out spam messages so I was told to change
the password. Problem is, is that when I change it, it changes back
automatically to it's orig password after a week or two. Is this the
spammer doing this? Any way to fix it?
It spammed again yesterday

Change everything on the account. I'm not familiar with hotmail anymore, but, go through the account settings and change your password reset questions, etc. Whatever is there that would allow you reset your password.

yeah did that, and now it has a supposedly airtight security option
whereby it's supposed to send you a phone text that you confirm in
order to change password, but it changes even without that.I don't
even get a text when it changes. I guess the account is screwed.

Can you contact hotmail support or anything?

If it were me, I'd sign up a new gmail account with different passwords and stuff, and set your hotmail to either auto-reply to people informing them of your new address, or set up a filter to auto-forward all the incoming mail to your new address until everyone has the new address.

That's all I got without actually looking at hotmail.
