Problem with Resetting my Hotmail password?

I have forgotten my hotmail password and stupidly when I set up my hotmail I used the email I was signing up with as my security email thingy so now when I try to reset my password it sends a confirmation to my email that I can't get onto !!! I'm silly I know, I need to get onto it, it doesn't even give me a option of changing which email the confirmation goes to :(

    Account recovery:

    https://security.live.com/acsr.aspx

    Reset your password:

    https://account.live.com/ResetPassword.aspx

    Of course it won't let you change the email nor the phone number the password reset link goes to. If you can do that then anybody who wants to steal your account can do so. You have to access the account before you can change it. Catch-21 right? That's the purpose of security.

    If none of the above helps then you have lost it.
