Answer 2

No need to hack the passwords for accounts you own.

Simply call the companies you have the accounts with and they will tell you what they are as soon as you prove your identity to them.

Answer 3

1:  "...i know there are some programs to hack passwords and pins..." — no, you don't. There really isn't a program for this. The whole push-of-a-button hacking concept is ridiculous, and frankly does not exist.

2:  There are no laws on the Internet. Countries/states/jurisdictions have their own laws regarding communication and data, but the Internet itself is an unregulated, unrestricted medium.

3:  "Hacking" is not what you think it is, more on that in point 4. The act of accessing a secured resource without authorization constitutes computer fraud. Whether or not you think you OWN your account (which you don't; read the Terms of Service), it's still fraud.

You are effectively telling the security implement that you are someone you're not. Falsely authenticating with an identity that's not your own, or subverting the security implement altogether, constitutes either computer fraud, computer trespass, or both.

4:  You have a totally skewed definition of "hacking." It doesn't mean you magically gain control over an email account, or magically reveal secret passwords or PIN numbers. Hacking (black-hat) simply means exploiting undiscovered security vulnerabilities for malicious purposes.

Lets use some logic here. You make it seem like there's a common-knowledge, freely-available program that *anyone* can download, and with a few simple clicks, gain access to a protected resource, like an email account for example. Wouldn't this kind of out-in-the-open exploit bring attention to the vulnerability? This would prompt the rapid fix of the vulnerability, usually within a matter of hours.

The key here is "undiscovered security vulnerabilities". The thing with black-hats is that they don't tell anyone about the vulnerabilities they discover. Some do, but most don't. Keeping the vulnerability below the radar is key. If the right people found out, the vulnerability would get fixed, and the exploit spoiled.

If you found a way to cheat on your taxes, or scam someone out of thousands of dollars, and get away with it all, would you write a book about it? Of course not, because sooner or later, someone will fix the loophole and you'll no longer be able to do it. Likewise, a "hacker" isn't going to write a program to exploit a specific vulnerability. The right people will find out, and the vulnerability will be repaired.

This being said, your knowledge of "programs to hack passwords" is nothing but hearsay. It's a load of c**p.

5:  Maximum penalties for computer fraud are up to 10 years in prison for the FIRST offense.

Sorry for the long-winded reply, I just figured I'd educate you. Keep you from sounding like a dumbass in the future.

Why don't you just use the "Forgot Password" feature?
