She's done this more than once and I don't know what to do to stop her, she's a computer whiz, and I'm not! I've alresdy changed my password, but she still finds out what it is.

Sounds like she has a keylogger installed!

You need to scan your computer for Key loggers, Your daughter is mostly spying on you (something is planted in your computer allowing her to do that), try this:
1- Goto http://www.trendmicro.com/spyware-scan/ and proceed with the steps given to do a system scan and eliminate what is there.
I also recommend to..
2- Download Spybot Search and Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ , install the software, it's free and efficient, and then do a scan with it.
If you had seen some "keylogger" or "trojan" warnings that means that's how she had got it, hopefully those programs should be able to recognize and clean it.
3- Change your password on another computer, make sure that the password that you did is hard enough to guess, a combination of letters and numbers would do. Now dare her to know your password again. If she was able to do once again find out, you might need some expert look to clean what's implanted there.
Hope she grows up a little !

Hello,
a way you could protect yourself is by setting up a coded password. The best kind of pasword is by far a letter and number password. Or maybe just a number password. Try and make it a password that you have not used before and therefore she wont be guessing old ones!
Though possibly unlikely she may have activated a keylogger which records every key you type on your keyboard. I suggest runnign all virus and keylogger software. Download some simple keylogger tracker of the internet simply by using google.
Hopefully This Has Helped

Start by changing her login password (and yours) to the computer itself and don't give it to her until you get this resolved. Next change your password everywhere to something she could not possibly know or figure out like "jh3Dm". If she can still get in your e-mail you have more serious issues.
Time to take charge as a parent.

get a free email like yahoo or google, don't tell her about it, keep it to yourself and make the password a mix of letters and numbers. Or tell her to get her own computer and stay off yours. good luck

Start e-mailing yourself from other PCs complaining about what a nosy little ***** she is and how you never get any privacy on the computer. Burn her good to teach her a lesson !

OK how about making two emails and passwords so that way you'll have one real one and one fake one and that case she'll have trouble getting thorough to which one is your real one

delete you email client (that outlook or outlook express) and access your email via the web (after changing your password) - your ISP usually has a weblink to email

you need to put her in her place. i don't know why the heck she's getting into your emails, or why she would want to anyway. but she has no right to and you need to punish her and be firm with her in a way that you see fit, until she stops this invasion of your privacy.
