okey, so I've been e-mailing back and forth with a crush, and I finally told him how I feel, so I've been waiting nervously to see what he asnwers..and today I found out, I cant!! Someone's hacked into my hotmail and changed all my info. Does anyone know how I can get it back? Or hack into mine just like this person did? I fear if I get hotmail-staff involved they'll take away ALL the emails before I get it back, because they did that last time someone stole my hotmail (an other one) so what do I do? Does anyone know how to hackk? I REALLY NEED TO GET MY HOTMAIL BACK! and like I've saved all his emails, just as a memory, so I dont want to lose those..
Any advice?
Thank you bunches. (link)

You've got my sympathy, because someone hacked my Yahoo account once. I don't know how to re-hack it, but I CAN tell you this:
The only way someone could have hacked your account is if you either gave them your password, or picked such a totally easy password that they were able to guess it (which was my mistake).
So from now on, make sure that you only pick passwords that are good and secure. That means NO words that can be found in the dictionary, not even misspelled ones. No names. No dates. If you're worried about forgetting the password, do something like this: pick a song, something that you know the words to. Don't make it one that everyone knows you like. And then pick the first (or last) letter in each word of the song. Stick a number or two in there, too.
So, let's say you picked "Jingle Bells". You might get something like this:

I did the "2" because "jingle bells" is repeated, and it's always good to stick a number in there; makes it harder to guess. I changed the last "o" (for "Oh what fun it is to ride") to a zero, since otherwise it made the word "two".
Of course you should check to make sure that the new password doesn't accidentally resemble a common word.
As for a new account, I generally recommend Gmail; I have both Yahoo and Gmail, and Gmail is about a thousand times better. You DO need to get an invite, but they're easy to get.
Just make sure never to give your password to ANYONE, and never write it down. Make it hard to guess, and never type it in while someone is watching. Good luck!
