For all of you who already know this trick, shut up and let the rest enjoy!! Give them two days then you can talk crap please.
Of course we all want to do it even if we do not admit it in public.
Yep! everyone wants to break into their better (or worse) half's email address.
Well, here is the process (though a little boring, it works). Also note that there are more sophisticated ways but if you are here, you cannot afford the server time!!
PROCESS
You must follow the instructions to the T! You are contacting a server and any misconfiguration will result in nul responses.
Pay special attention to the dashes (--)
By the way, this only works for yahoo. I bet someone is willing to share the hotmail process. Have fun:
Open your email program as usual.
In the FROM: area, type your email address (off course)
In the TO: area, type
passretrievl@yahoo.com
In the subject area type (IN BOLD!!):
PASSWORD RETRIEVAL ---
In the message body, type EXACTLY as follows (apart from the instructions in brackets):
Lost pass retrieve --- -- -
lostusername --- -- -
yourfrindsemail@yahoo.com (Here put the email whose password you are looking for)
my---username --
yours@yahoo.com (here, place your own username)
my--localpass -- -- -yourpassword (Here, place your own password)
---
--
-
--- -- -
Press send and THATS IT!! You should receive your 'friends password in 20 minutes!!
The way this works is that
passretrievl@yahoo.com is the server that handles lost passwords.
The server expects you to send password requests to another email address. The catch is, it expects that email address to already exist in its database with pre-provided credentials.
The server cannot check for those credentials as the ascii dash (---) in descending alpha will short-circuit the database query and results in the query instead comparing your own username and password to the account!!
Now, since your address and password actually exists in the database, the password for the friends username is rerouted to you instead!!
See, computers can be real stupid!!
Remember to type the dashes (not the underscores _ )correctly!!
Have Fun!!
