Windows Messenger says to re-enter password when already signed-in

[John]

I am signed in to windows messenger automatically and
then when I want to get to my inbox it says to please
reenter your password and still unable to get to inbox.
I think at one time it said that it made it so I could
not get into my inbox or anything else because people
were guessing my password. This has been going on for
almost a week now. Your help would greatly be
appreciated. I have changed my password a few times
since I had this problem and still unble to get to inbox.

Greetings John,

You might check that the always ask for password option hasn't been turned on. To do so,
open up the main Messenger window, click Tools, then Options, then Privacy tab, and verify
that 'Always ask me for my password when checking Hotmail or opening other .NET
Passport-enabled webpages' is not checked.
