Hello. I am trying to get someone's password... basically, he has been acting a certian way recently and I just want to make sure he is emotionally okay. My intentions are not malicious, though I realize I have no way of proving that to you. Getting his hotmail, Yahoo!, or AIM password would all be of help... I only need one. I am PRETTY sure he has AOL under that AIM screename, as he has Trillian set up to check that e-mail address @aol.com, but it could have been a default when he added the AIM address to the program. I know a little bit, but not much. I don't want anyone to do this for me; I want to learn on my own. Not to mention that I don't have any *****, most offering to do it for free are a farce, and I am not willing to give out his e-mail addresses to strangers on the internet. He trusted me with his life... and more. He had given me the passwords at one point as a sign of trust then changed them after he used his uncle's computer, and at the moment I am afraid to ask for them again because he may accuse me of wanting to do soemthing bad with them if I ask before he remembers to give them to me on his own. I do not want advice on my situation... it is my personal life, and there are many more things involved here then you could possibly imagine. All I ask is for help with obtaining this password...

-I have downloaded the "HTTP Brute Forcer" from hackology.com, but after each of the three tried insatllations I get the following error: "Component 'COMDLG.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid."
-I dowloaded the Brute Force tool from hoobie.net but could not get it to retrieve any passwords... I used the HTTP (Basic) and HTTP (Form) (I am fairly certian "form" is the correct one) options, entered the port number for hotmail which I had seen is **0, enterd the IP I recieved for hotmail with an nslookup tool (65.54.2**.**), set the username and password list options, and left the rest as defaults. The "timeout" and "throttle" errors blinked every so often and both attempts ended with timeouts and "unable to verify target 65.54.2**.**".
-A port number for Yahoo! or AOL/AIM or a verification of **0 as the port for hotmail would be helpful
-I know there are port sniffers, among other tools, available to obtain ports for different servers and/or domain names, but I am not able to download so many different programs on my ancient computer, and from what the websites of such programs show it does not look like I would be able to figure out how to use them in a way that would be very helpful to me. I did see and nslookup website once that gave a lot of detailed information, including port number, but I have not been able to find that website again.
-If the IP 65.54.2**.** for hotmail looks wrong or is known to be wrong that information would be helpful
-If someone knows of a better Brute Force tool and possibly some info on how to use it, that would be appreciated... I know there are many out there and simply downloading random ones and trying to read the readme/help files then trying to use them all would not be ideal.
-If someone can advise me on better options for the hoobie.net version of Brute Force, that would be helpful
-If anyone has any idea how to recover the missing file for the hackology.com Brute Force tool or otherwise get rid of the error, that would be great.
-I have no way of putting trojans on his computer, nor do I want to as they would slow down his computer and/or cause errors, most likely.
-I have spent quite a while typing this post and do not want "***6 hackz0rNg S|<*llZ" or anything of the sort, and though I am intrested in learning much more about hacking and advanced internet usuage in general, I do not expect anyone would be willing to show me much, and I have had a hard time learning on my own, so I am simply asking for help in this one issue and would appreciate it if someone would be willing to do so.

I do not think listing my system information and/or connection information would be of much help, so I have refrianed from doing so for the moment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for taking the tim to read such a long post.
