mail not accepting new hotmail password

Hotmail required me to change a password after login on my laptop from Iceland vacation.

Now I cannot use the Mac mail program, because when I try to enter the new password it does not accept it.

Cannot seem to get this to work now ... I have to use hotmail from a safari browser now ( hope I don't have a big problem when i get home on my iMac )

My guess is that there is a conflict with keychain, but I cannot tell which keychain to delete

Any suggestions / solutions ?

MacBook, iOS 10.3.2, Airbook
