    Go for a cig, coffee, tea, or whatever and wait 5 minutes and try it as I've found that this happens with my hotmail.com account at times too.

    Funnily it never happens to my hotmail.co.uk account but I expect this is due to the length of my friends list on hotmail.com being over 100+ yet my hotmail.co.uk only has 10 people on it

    You did time but date defintly ok? if not then it may just be the waiting game. or a re-install of msn.

    Have you got a secondary passport login you can try?

    If so try that and if you can login then it's definately something on the MSN side of things.

    Welcome to the fun with MSN.

    I have the same issue occasionally too and as yet have not figured why - this is why my msn is always logged in now

    if you have updated your msn I have heard there is some issues with loggining on as the installer does not delete older versions and there is some kind of conflict with some accounts. I had this problem and had to in the end do a fresh install of windows last resort of course and it worked fine.

    (I'm not saying this is the best option by the way I needed to do a fresh install anyway)

    it worked fine yesterday, and ive deleted all previous versions of messenger. so i think it might be a problem at msn's end.

    last time i thought this happened to me with ICQ, i was actually typing the wrong password..... oops!

    might sound stupid, but you REALLY sure its your right password?

    Can you login using it to any other passport enabled site?
