I constantly have to change my passwords to my online accounts because my boyfriend always somehow retrieve my passwords tough I constantly change my passwords and make sure that the passwords are hard to figure out. I figured out that he does a system restore on my computer constantly. Does anyone know how or what he could be doing to constantly keep getting my passwords?

First off, passwords can only be retrieved if you save them. STOP SAVING YOUR PASSWORDS! If this is an issue for you, then never check that little box that says remember password.
Second, WTF is he doing logging into your accounts without your permission? Dump him fast - he's a loser.
Third, right-click on My Computer, then click on Properties and then on Restore. Delete any and all restore points.
Fourth, get a program that will clean out your cache and passwords. I use a program called ccleaner that does a great job. (I use it for basic system clean up which will include saved passwords). http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ Green arrow on the right. Make sure you select the Advanced options on the bottom left when you scan.
Fifth, if you still didn't do #2 on this list, then you deserve what you get. Trust me, he is an @$$ and this is a good sign now that you are in for a world of trouble. Lose him.

Good question sounds like a hacking issue. I use Snad Boy which will show you the code in which it is encrypted. I would recommend that you use stronger codes like mixing alpha and numeric at the same time.
