i'm the most frustrated person IN THE WORLD right now! ahhh!!!
SO, my b/f and i have been arguing (isn't it wonderful)....he works in the IT dept. at a school and he knows all this stuff about computers.
okay, well i hadn't been on my gmail in several weeks, and i just changed my password right before i didn't log on for awhile.
so SOMEHOW--God knows how--he got it. I'm guessing he hacked it somehow. so i go in to retrieve my password....and i get no email. so i call him in panic...and sure enough--He changed it to where the password goes to HIS email.
what the crap am i supposed to do?!?! besides the fact that it's annoying and he has access to all my co-workers, and is threatening to send emails....I'm just so mad that I wish I could just beat him. Like I said, he knows SOOOO much about computers. It would be great if I could get into it (like he did) and get it back. Of course, I don't know if he hacked me...but I NEED it back...I need to use it for my newjob

Also knows a thing or two about computers, I don't think he hacked your password. Nowadays, it's relatively difficult to hack a password with any technological means. Gmail should have fairly good security for your b/f to hack into. He probably saw you wrote down the new password somewhere. You can change your password again to prevent him from accessing but remember not to write anything down nor saving it in a file on the computer.
If you have problems keeping track of passwords, I've found this program useful.

Using one master password to access the rest. Of course, the master password must be very secret.
As for revenge, there are many ways to screw a person on computers. Depends on how mean you want to be. You can always open up his computer and take out a few pieces, which is the most frightening. You can delete a few files on his computer by sending them to Recycle Bin. Or when he is not looking, log on his email account and send a few emails out.
Technically hacking a computer can be complicated, but socially hacking it like looking for his written passwords and posing as him sending emails are always easy to do. You should try it sometime. :-)

After you change password again, do the following..
go to tools -> options and delete all the cache and cookies.
there is no way he can hack into your account, if you delete all your cookies and cache.
hope this works..

please check your email account to make sure it does not have the auto forward. If it has, I think you BF put his emaill address into this section, then all your mails go diretly to his email account.
