If you have some risky business that you need to do or information and files you need to access inside a Hotmail account, but neither have the permission to do so nor the credentials to access the account, then the only thing left to do is to hack it. Hacking gives you entry to restricted accounts without the permission of the administrators or owners, however, it should be noted that gaining access to something without permission from the owner is ILLEGAL in most cases.

Steps

Using Keylogger Programs

1. 1
   Install a keylogger program. Keyloggers are applications that, when installed on a computer, record the key presses made on the keyboard. To install one on your computer, simply download an installer file from the Internet and run it.

   • One commonly used keylogger program is Refog, which you can download.
   • Be extra cautious when installing hacking software on your computer. Most of these kinds of applications often carry viruses and spyware that are harmful to your PC.
2. 2
   Run the keylogger. Open the installed program to run it. Keyloggers are silent applications that run like background processes so once it launches, it can immediately be minimized so that other users won’t be aware of it.

3. 3
   Have the owner open his or her Hotmail account. Ask the owner of the Hotmail account that you want to hack to log into his or her account on the computer where you installed the key logger.

   • The key logger program will record the key presses on the keyboard once he or she types in the account username and password.
4. 4
   Get the password from the keylogger. Open the key logger application and get the recorded keystrokes. Afterwards, go to the Hotmail login page and try the combinations you acquired using the hacking tool.

1. 1
   Get the saved password from the browser settings. Web browsers have a feature that lets you save your password on frequently visited webpages to avoid having to enter the login credentials for every visit. To get the saved password from browsers, all you need to do is:

   • For Google Chrome: Click the menu button at the top-right corner of the window and select “Settings” from the drop-down list. Scroll down the Settings window and you’ll be able to access all the saved passwords inside the “Password and form” option.
   • For Mozilla Firefox: Click the menu button at the top-right corner of the window and select “Options” from the drop-down list. Click the “Security” tab from the Options window to access all the saved passwords within the browser.
   • For Internet Explorer: Select “Tools” from the menu bar at the top-left area of the window and select “Internet Options” from the drop-down list. Click the “Content” tab from the Internet Options window to access all the saved passwords within the browser.
2. 2
   Write down the password. The browser settings will display the username, password and even the URL of the login pages where you can use the credentials. Take note of the details you see on the browser settings window.
3. 3
   Log into the account. Go to the Hotmail login page and enter the account credentials to log in to the Hotmail account and hack it.

   • You can also just open the Hotmail address from the same computer. If the browser is set to remember the login session, you’ll no longer be asked to enter any login information once you load the Hotmail web address and will be immediately directed to the account inbox.
