The computer was not locked. It had no password. How was she able to crack down the password of her professor's mail?



Best Answer

No password on the computer account, and the professor saved his password in Safari, so there was nothing to crack/hack. Many people do not require a password to enter their computer and many people save passwords to their browser. Note that the "stay signed in" checkbox for gmail was checked. Most people give little thought to security on their computer.
