Is there any way Microsoft can reset a Hotmail password for me?

I've been locked-out of my account (someone using my username has apparently
reset my password), and I can't get back in.

I've tried EVERYTHING, but I can't receive instructions on resetting my
password (since I've never registered an alternate email address), and can't
remember the exact answer to my secret question (I have a rough idea of the
answer, but since I opened the account years ago, I can't remember the exact
combination of characters I need to type in).

Is there any way for Microsoft to reset the password for me? Of course, I'd
be willing to pay for technical support, if I thought it would help.
