Hi,
I’m new here and I wondered if you could help me with a query.
Yesterday when I tried to log online I found that my password which usually works automatically kept being rejected as “invalid”. I had to go onto “system restore” before I could log on.
What I was wondering is how and why did this happen and if it is possible for somebody else who knows my password [like my ex-partner] to change the password from another computer.
I realise that this will probably seem like a tediously simple question to you guys but I’m still abit of a computer novice and any help would be really appreciated.
Thankyou in anticipation.

No, I don’t think she hacked into comp either. I just wanted to know if it was possible as it was so strange. Password is put in automatically to save me having to type it out everytime I log on but suddenly stopped working. I had to go on “system restore” before I could get online.
