you must have had really easily guessed passowords and secret answers, youd be suprised how easy it is to hack someone because they use predicatble passowords, once you get it back i suggest you look at how to get securer passwords.
"Its not how long a star shines, what is remembered is the brightness of the light"
um i dont actually my friend who incidently is a hacker himself set my passwords for me, i trust him alot and have known him for nearly 20 years, if your wondering why id let someone know my passwords. what happened was this person, who wasnt even on my msn msger list, popped up and started saying if i didnt do on cam my facebook would be changed, well obviously i wouldnt go on cam and they logged me out of facebook....have no clue how. then said if i go on cam i get facebook password if not then my hotmail will be changed to. as you can probably guess i didnt play his stupid games.
so sorry if thats come across as a bit harsh but as you can probably guess im very pissed off at the moment and for someone to tell me its my fault.....well pushes me a bit too far.
Aw sorry that happened, man. My friend did that once as a "joke" but eventually I got it under control, hope things work out. My weekends been really blah and just gray.
Let's put a smile on that face
We are not alone
Find out when your cover's blown
There'll be somebody there to break your fall
We are not alone
'Cause when you cut down to the bone
We're really not so different after all
Anything can get hacked, some are harder than others.
yes and no. I doubt your person did a true crack of her hotmail account. The answer to post people's secret questions is very easy to guess.
Modern systems lock you out after 5-10 wrong tries. (this is to prevent brute force attacks) lets claim you want to get into a system. You've disabled the lock out system and you did the normal battery of dictionary attacks. The password is a random collection of letters and numbers.
If its password uses only lowercase letters and it is 5 characters long there would be about 7.9*10^6 different combinations. If you add in uppercase letters the number of passwords jumps to 3.11*10^8. With numbers its at 7.7*10^6 and with 30 special characters it jumps to 5.9*10^9 .
As you can see passwords should be random and use all types of characters.

I must have you!"

i have a lot of sympathy sweetie, this happened to me a few months ago-i cried lots. i had so many lovely emails from when i was on sick leave and they all went-should learn to save things i know!
and my password was a made up word with upper case and numbers in.....if they wana get in they will!!
and hotmail are w@nkers about it, i wrote god knows how many reports/enquiries and they never got back to me and never got my emails back etc!

this pic is so i can always remember jen who was my l'il sock monkey friend who has left ryl and i miss her!!!
that suck lil esky, ive done those reports and got directed to this private forum....yea it explains nothing so im just as confuzzled as before, also didnt realise how addicted i am to facebook now that i cant get on it lol :p
Number of random letter sequences to generate put in 50 Length of each random letter sequence put in how many characters long you want your password to be. Letters to choose from: use abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX YZ1234567890-=!@#$%^&*()_+\|`~,./?><;'::"[]{}

Sory to hear you have been hacked.I have a bad wkend.im sick ,have no voice ,swollen throat and etc.
I juat want to be normal again
It became like a sort of prison. Encased in a silver shell, words so full of bleeding need spilled like drops on dry leaves. And all the while laughter prevailed a long way from here. Nowhere land, nowhere time, nowhere space.
I usually combine a couple of oddly spelled words with a string of numbers.
If only I could remember my password for my old computer... my brother keeps trying to use it now, but can't do anything proper on it as he's not the administrator account... I am. But according to what I've read with Windows, there is no way to reset the administrator password without reinstalling the whole system.
Sorry you got hacked... that sucks a lot. I hope you have different passwords for everything else.
Do you have another account on the system or is it just that one?
