Re: Can't access email to get 6-digit code

My dropbox account is linked to my Microsoft hotmail account, which was recently compromised. Consequently my hotmail account was locked with no way for me to recover it. I have tried answering the Dropbox security questions (with the answers I remember) to bypass the 6-digit code, but have not been able to log in either.
