Answer 1

ANSWER:

Your going to have a hard time finding out your husband's password. You can ask an expert who knows how to hack computer, you might know it. I also did this to the man I married a long time ago to find out if he was still writing his mistress, but never had no luck. But one time I got in because one of my kids helped me, and I found out 2 of her email to him. but I will call it luck.

Answer 2

There are several options. The easiest is to get someone to tell you their password, generally through a phishing or social engineering scam. The next option is to copy down their password while they are typing it in, either by being there in person or installing a video camera. Third, you could install a keylogger program into a person's computer and when they enter a known user name, the next set of characters tends to be the password. Fourth, you could simply guess - brute force computing tries this by running every possible password combination with a user name.
