Usually your email has a link to click for confirmation.
What option did you have and use ?
But otherwise ask them about completeing your account.

I cannot open my hotmail account to respond to the welcome account.

elliej,
Do you not know your hotmail password, and that is the one you used to register here with?
Please be patient as we get this straightened out.

BTW,
