How do I recover a hacked email account?

I have an old att.net email account that I have not logged into in about 3 years.  I believe my account has been hacked as I can no longer log into it.  When I attempt to reset the password it asks for my userid and last name associated with my id, but when I type them in I get a message that says "Hmm... that didn't work.  Check your entries and try again." I am assuming whoever hacked my account changed my personal information related to the account.  How do I regain access to my account?

Hello @ATTHelp is there any way I could still recover my email if I’ve already tried all the tips and it didn’t help?
