Type up an official-looking (paper) letter from your internet provider saying they need her password. Hand it to her yourself, tell her she needs to fill out the form. Instead of mailing it, open it and look at it yourself. Chances are she uses the same one or two passwords for all email addresses and screen names.



The key loggers are also effective.

Either get rid of the computer or get a block put on all the chat line sites.

You need to put this man to jail!

But don't let her know about it. Now more than ever you need to be kind to her. She is looking for a sexual "love" out there because there's some other type of love she's not getting at home.

I would take all of her resources not just her password.

Download a keylogger. http://www.spyarsenal.com/

It should tell you how to work these, keyloggers will allow you to get her password with her knowing.

Restricting access to your computer:



Most computers allow creating a BIOS password. Without a password your DVD/CD or floppy drives can not be used to boot the computer or reinstall Windows, bypassing all your Windows passwords. It also prevents the hard drives from being used, preventing entering Windows “safe mode” which can be used to modify your passwords.

The bios password can often be easily defeated.

Windows XP passwords:

All accounts must have passwords. Each person must have a separate username and password to sign on the computer. You must have an “Administrative” account. Everyone else should have “Restricted Access” accounts.

Do not enable automatic logon.

Protect your computer from access when you are temporarily away from your computer by using a screen saver password

Each person (if you allow) should have a separate email account.



A determined person can break or disable or get around all passwords.

Restricting Internet Access



Your internet service provider probably provides a method to control access to the internet. I have ATT they have parental controls to limit access. Each user can have a separate account. A master password is required to change settings. Settings allow selecting for each user: Allowed times during the day; maximum hours of use; set ratings for types of content allowed to be viewed.

I am not recommending this software, but it pages clearly show setting up internet profiles and customizing the restrictions.

Ask her for it. If she doesn't give it to you, she can't use the computer.
