Hi again, again I have a question for you hackers and/or crackers, for some time now my girlfriend and myself have tried to retrieve her stored AOL password, I swear it is not to obtain somebody elses password, this is her own password which she has forgotten and she used that nice feature of AOL to store her password, why she wants it back - she needs to change it, because once she gave it to her ex-boyfriend, and she suspects he's checking on her (reads her e-mail and such), we tried to call AOL, but the problem is the account is on her father, who is very busy (read lazy) to call AOL, wait for a couple of minutes and get her password. If any of you can help, we'd highly appreciate it. AOL version she uses 7.0.
Thank you,
Neo.
why don't you call, and pose as her father? that's what i always used to do when i needed to make changes to my AOL account when it was in my dad's name. i can't remember what they needed to make sure i was him... i think it was the last 4 digits of the CC used on the account.
But you know they ask this stuff, your mothers' maden name, what do you eat for lunch, and so on, and we don't have that information, and you know we are not going to dig through the personla stuff of her father whatever it can be.
if it is saved on aim you can use a program called aim recover to pick it up out of the registry. AIM encrypts passwords there but it can decrypt them. You could also drop sub7 or back orifice on this other guys comp
