Help - Password

[Unregistered]

Is there a way to find out a password used on your computer for e-mail accounts. My son has been in trouble and I would like to find out his e-mail password so I can monitor his behavior. I know his sign in name, but not the password. you're help is greatly appreciated. (pS. I think he stopped using the computer at home for e-mail so the spy stuff won't work. does your computer store stuff like that?

Thanks so much

He could be using a local email client like outlook/audora/the bat or a web mail like hotmail/yahoo etc..
you could be running Win9x or WinNT/2K/XP.
you could be a novice or an expert.
There's one thing you need to know, you won't get his password unless:
you install a key_logger (an application that runs secretly in the background and logs every and each typed key on your keyboard).
If you manage to do so, you will be increasing your chances to find the password as it is enough to use the email home PC for 1 single time to get him. (remember although he is your son, it is still illegal)
good luck.
