Great way to get noticed by admins.

On a side note, is it legal for me to take mail out of a person’s mailbox?

It's not like the FBI is going to kick down his door for guessing the password to a hotmail account. Do you have any idea what 90% of what people ask you is when people know you are what is commonly and incorrectly termed as a "hacker"? That's right, "Can you get into my girlfriend's email? I think she's cheating on me." WITHOUT FAIL. 90%.

You will probably not figure out how to do it, which is good. Don't do things like that.

That doesn't make it legal, or moral.

But you're the king of morals, aren't you?

It may not be illegal but it's immoral.

Well the account was created on my computer but it resides on someone else's server.

It is totally legal for him to monitor keystrokes on his own computer.

Bring your kids up right and you won't have to spy on them.  Invading their privacy will make them pull back farther from you.

Have you tried TALKING with the child?  Or is it really a child?


It is legal to log keystrokes on his computer, but to use that information to access information that doesn't belong to him is illegal.

Did ARF go to shit over the past few days?

Maybe it's his fairy fucking godmother, but if they're using his own PC to get online, he can do whatever he wants when it comes to monitoring and spying.

Then the right thing to do is contact the ISP and ask for access.

Most of the free email accounts require you to use a secondary email, in case you forget your password, if you know any of his/her other email passwords you might try, clicking on the forgotten password button. If its gmail his/her security question might be easy enough for you to guess, so you might try that as well.

Does anyone know if I can get into trouble for guessing my way into an email account?
Or better yet, anyone have any tools to crack a password?




yes, you can get into trouble.
