friend of mine is deperate for help. she had her password stolen and changed for her MSN, hotmail, yahoo. (used the same password for all, and something any Tom Dick and HArry can guess. warned her before, but........) any idea how she can get them back?
Did she try to retrieve the new password or have it reset? Most services have password questions, and other ways you can get your password reset. When she signed up for the services did she use a different email address? They will probably send the new password to the email she used when signing up.
There are ways to retrieve the password for the email. They must assume that if you get your password hijacked that you wont have access to the email anymore. Tell her to contact the email company and have them reset the password. They will probably have her fill out some security stuff and then she can use the email to retrieve the other passwords.
