Dear friends,

Can you help me out in solving my problem?

One of my friend's maid id password is changed by some person who knows the password. He has forgot his hint question also. Is there any way for recovering his password? His mail is in rediff.

Is there any software for recovering the password of his mail?

I don't think it is possible to find out the password of e-mail id especially if hint qestion and anwer is not known. There will be some 3 to 5 hin questions and a person has to choose one among them. why not he try each and every question.

there are password recovery tools for web based email accounts. Try searching for them on net. I know its difficult...but its not impossible...specially for a CA/Ca student..try it..

If the software doesnot work for recovery..then contact mail service provider help desk, i mean yahoo,gmail etc. Bcoz one of my frnd forgot and they reset his password after verifying his details through alternal mail id.
