Cito de donde te lleva el skype al querer recuperar contraseña (sí, la he olvidado y encima no me deja recuperarla) : Problems signing in to Skype
We are currently working extremely hard to ensure everyone trying to sign in to Skype can access their account and make calls. Our engineers are fixing the technical issue that caused this problem and more and more people are now able to use Skype once again.
If you are unable access your account at this time, we recommend that you try again later.
We sincerely apologise for this outage. We’re striving hard to get Skype fully back online as soon as possible.

Decir que antes decía más cosas, pero lo han cambiado, debo tenerlo por aquí, ahora lo copypasteo si lo encuentro.
EDIT:
spoilerUpdated: Skype downtime today An update on the downtime which has been affecting many of you around the world: the ability of one Skype user to find another relies on what we call ‘supernodes’, and yesterday, a number of these failed due to a software issue, which we’ve now identified. Our engineers are working to resolve the problem.
Millions of you are already reporting that you can now sign in to Skype normally, and we estimate that there are already almost 10 million people online. As a guide, this is around 30% of what we’d expect at this time of day – and that number is increasing all the time. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for us to predict on an individual level when you’ll be able to sign in again, and we thank you for your. patience in the meantime
