As most of you may know, the days for colleges to make their decisions are either here or fast approaching. Most schools have sent me emails to log in to ther respective websites march 31st to view my status. I had stored all logins and passwords in my computer, but since the piece of crap recently crashed, I just realized they're lost to oblivion. Am I effed or what? Will the universities also send me letters to my home, or should I just call now to see if they can give me my passwords (again)? What's going to happen? What should I do?? (link)
Hi. That is horrible! But don't freak out.

Since they sent you emails, there has to be a trail. Most email programs keep your deleted trash for 30 days. Check your trash to recover some of them!

I know some colleges require an application fee to apply. Hopefully you or your parents can find a trail of who you paid. This is one way to know which colleges to contact for feedback or to recover the lost password.

Most colleges will also send a letter congratulating you on admittance. I have sure you have a top 5 list. If you don't get a letter from one of your top 5, definitely contact them. If you are accepted, they are not going to take away the offer just because of a lost password.

Good luck!

Thanks! Although I delete my emails as soon as I read them, you're completely right about that last one. I was on the verge of calling the 20-something schools I applied to, until I realized that it would be kinda stupid of them not to send me a letter as well as an email. I just hope we're both right! Anyway, thanks again.
