Hello everybody!
In this video, you will see restore access to any mailbox at an email service or obtain
at least some information from such mailbox if the access was lost forever.
I’d like to emphasize at once, that we are not trying to encourage anyone to commit any
illegal actions.
We are not talking about a hacking attack, but about the things an ordinary user can
do from their home or office computer if they lost access to their email and they need to
restore it.
Here we go.
In this video, we’ll have a look at the case when you have access to the computer
belonging to the user whose email you are trying to hack.
You can get remote access to a user’s email only through phishing or social engineering,
that is, only by using fraudulent tricks to get the password to a user’s email.
That is why you should avoid using online services or applications that require entering
the login and password to your current email, or transferring this data to someone else.
Instead of the services you’re expecting, your account may be hacked, or spammed with
lots of unwanted mail.
Of course, all email services have reliable protection systems.
They often feature two-factor authentication or are connected to a user’s mobile phone
number.
That is why it is next to impossible to get into someone’s email account by just guessing
the lucky combination of symbols.
But how can you do it?
• Let’s suppose there is a computer used by the person whose email box we want to restore
access to.
• Start the computer.
• If you already have access to the person’s account, or you know the password, or there’s
no password at all - it’s wonderful, just sign in.
If you don’t have access to this account, don’t worry.
You can sign in without the password as well.
There is a special detailed video on how to sign in to Windows without knowing the account
password, or reset the password.
You will find the link in the description:
• After you’ve signed in to the computer, run Hetman Internet Spy.
Find the download link in the description:
• Select “System Analysis” • After it’s complete, choose the user.
Here is one very important thing.
To get access to the email box of a user, it’s better to sign in to Windows from this
user’s account.
It’s really important because the system will not give one user’s account the access
to personal data and passwords of the other account.
• Choose a browser for analysis.
You need to analyze the particular browser that this user prefers.
To find out which one is the favorite browser, go to Windows Settings / Apps / Default apps.
In the Web browser line, you’ll see the default browser name.
Usually, it’s the one the user opens every time.
• Run the browser analysis.
However, you can choose to analyze all browsers one by one until you find the application
containing the necessary information.
• Let’s see what data we can view after the browser analysis.
Now, we can see the complete browsing history for the selected user.
• It is represented chronologically in the History menu.
There’s so much data...
• If you are looking for a way to restore access to an email address, the first thing
to check is if the program succeeded in extracting the email password.
To do it, go to the Passwords menu.
• This is where you can see all logins and passwords saved by the browser, including
those to email services.
• If you find the password to the mailbox you have been looking for, and you know this
email address - that’s wonderful.
Just go there and enter the password.
Find out what mail service is used.
Go to its main page, enter the login you already know and the password you have extracted with
the help of the application.
For example, - email addresses by Google end in @gmail.com
- by Yandex – in @yandex.ru - Yahoo - in @yahoo.com
- Aol - in @aol.com - Outlook - in @outlook.com or @hotmail.com
And so on.
In this case, the job’s done, and access is restored...
• Still, if the password to the mailbox you know is not shown for some reason, but
Internet Spy has shown logins and passwords to other email addresses this user also has,
one of them can be the recovery email for the mailbox.
What does it mean?
When you create an email address, the mail service usually asks you to give one more
email which is then verified and used to send you a security code, so you can restore access
to your email or reset a password you have forgotten.
This is what they call a recovery email address.
How can you use it?
- Go to the main page of the email service.
- Enter the login if you haven’t done it yet.
- Next to the password field, click on the link saying “Forgot password” or “Remember
password” etc.
- Here, try to find any hints at the recovery email for this mailbox.
- Such recovery email address can also be hidden.
Nevertheless, this way we can learn the mail service of the recovery email, and sometimes
even the login’s initial symbols.
- To reset the password to an email account, send a message with a confirmation code to
the recovery email.
- Now we can find a password to the recovery email among the email addresses and passwords
found by Hetman Internet Spy.
- Here’s the email address we need.
- Having gained access to the recovery email, we can use it to reset the password for the
primary email address, and open it.
Here’s one thing to remember: Some email services may have other methods to reset a
mailbox password, which don’t involve a recovery email address.
One of such methods can be using a recovery phone number where a special password to restore
access or reset a password will be sent.
- Now we’ve gained access to the mailbox.
Here’s one more important observation.
If the utility didn’t find the password to the mailbox you need, but you can see that
other mailboxes, website or social media accounts (which Hetman Internet Spy also shows!)
share one and the same password, there are high chances that this password can be used
for the primary mailbox as well.
Try signing in with such password.
People often use the same password for various accounts.
Next.
It’s quite possible that this menu will not show the passwords to the mailboxes you
need.
• Remember: if you have previously reset the password for signing in the Windows account,
the utility will not show you the passwords to this user’s accounts.
It happens that way because of the Microsoft security system.
• In this case, set a password to this Windows account of this user, and restart the computer.
To do it: - Go to Control Panel / User Accounts / Manage
Another Account/ select the account / Create a password.
- Or Settings / Accounts / Sign-in options / Password / Add.
• After that, use Hetman Internet Spy to analyze the system again.
• As a result, you’ll see passwords to the user accounts that have been detected.
If the login and password have not been saved in the browser, and you can’t get a password
to the email box.... what data can you get your hands on without having a password?
Go to the menu History / Mail.
It shows all email messages sent or received with this browser.
The data is represented chronologically.
Hetman Internet Spy shows headings of all possible emails, the source email address
and the destination email address.
If all you need is to find the fact of sending or receiving a certain message, even this
information is enough.
The utility will always come in handy for restoring the information on a mailbox to
which you have lost access.
I’ve just shown you the ways to get access to an email with the example of Yahoo service.
However, they should work well with other email services.
If you don’t want to have your email hacked, be security-conscious.
Use complicated passwords, multi-factor authentication, different passwords for various accounts and
so on.
That is all for now.
