 		NEW - MelodysResearch - 4/4/04
we have been trying to figure out melody's password for her passport account. to change her password all we need is the name of her highschool boyfriend.. that is her secret question for security. i have tried marcus and thesburg and marcusthesburg and mthesburg.. i have alost tried jude and marty just in case she dated one of them in highschool. if this sounds like an avenue to explore feel free to leave a few suggestions or let us know if you find out who her boyfriend was when she was in highschool.

 		Smooth, how do you know we need her boyfriend's name? As far as I know we haven't even figured out her email address at MSN.
Could you share how you got to this conclusion?

looking at the fact that she gave us her login name to the forum and we all know that passport uses an email address. i figured that she is using a hotmail account just like marcus is. hers is amboymelodySPLAThotmail.com

when you go to change the password it asks for the state and zip of the place that you live or signed up with. hers is washington state and the zip code for amboy washington is 98601. after puting this information in, if correct, it takes you to the change password page. the secret questions is "highschool boyfriend?" since we know that marcus is dating her now we thought maybe he was not the password but the hint to change or retrieve her password.. again this is all speculation. but it seems they are giving us just less than what we need to do this. figured i would change the password to something like "ruaware" and see if we gain access to the research.

 		Well, WR is a hacker. Is it a bad idea to tell him to look at the source? Let him try to crack it. How could he resist getting at her research? "The stupid cow hick from Powell's. Why does she keep popping up when I am in embarrasing moments? ", as he writes in his blog.
It could either be a way of trying to help him or a way of getting him in more trouble, depending how you look at it. Twisted Evil

 		Well, I just tried the password reset as well, and got this:

Microsoft .NET Passport has made your account temporarily unavailable to help prevent other users from guessing or obtaining your password. Please try again later, or contact MSN Hotmail Customer Support.


So, I wonder what we do now.

Hmmm so I guess the question is, did MSN notice the multiple attempts (via IP addresses or something) and block the account? Or did the PM do something and is trying to tell us we're on the wrong track?

Thank you for the explanation Smooth Smile I think we need to cultivate a relationship with Melody. She seems willing to talk. I'll follow up on my e-mail from her tomorrow (today).

 		I figured it out.
Ok, the answer to the question is [Marcus Thesburg]. But, the only thing about it is allows me to reset her password and didn't want to change it since that will definitely tip Melody off some one has been there. I don't think she Melody was meaning for her public to find it or she probably would of just invited us in.

 		Because I changed her password.
I didn't mean to. Crying or Very sad But I was so manic about getting in I kept trying. And well I finally got in, but still not sure how to get to her groups page.
I didn't think and typed [manchild]. I am going to go change it now. What should I change it to?

Why not change it to T0B1? Then create a hotmail account for T0B1SPLAThotmail.com and mail her from this address. Make it look like T0B1 has gone a bit stange and is starting to stalk her. She may mention it to the boys at II which could buy the Blogger some time?
