lol....it wasn't changed....she changed it because she was being paranoid....and she was also mad at the time, so she has no idea what it was, plus it was about 15-20 charactors long...

Uhmmm well i know how that happen, someone knows your answer to the secret question, what yahoo does is give you a random password if you have all the right info. That way your password is changed and the person who did it can get into your account, but cant actually know what the password really was.

lol ahh good old email cracking

dude, if i hadn't gave that up, i could hack her email n get it back for you, but fuck, im getting old

just know one thing, somebody answering her secret question n breaking in that way is VERY possible......i'd suggest if you don't get it bakc, move on and make the secret question impossible to answer

shit, i forgot mine even lol

yea....her password wasn't hacked...she changed it because she decided she needed a new one...and then she forgot what is was....and, as i said. she is kinda paranoid so her question was "who is your favorite fictional Charactor" and she put about 4 of them in a random order...but she cant remember...


and actually, all she really need is her address book so she can tell her friends to send to a new email

i know...i would think she would remember though....she said she typed it in about 15 times that day...she also said it may have been a book character...followed by random nubmers....im pretty sure she is lost till she just remembers it......
