How to get your child's Myspace password



Is your son or daughter chatting with strangers online? Are you concerned about the safety of your child?

TAGs: password, passwords, Myspace password, Find password

Myspace, internet chat rooms, email, and internet social-networking websites can be dangerous places for children to spend time unsupervised. To learn more about the dangers facing children on the internet, see our Is the internet safe? page for more information.

Ways to get into your son or daughter's email, Myspace or other password protected systems

If you are already aware of the dangers of Myspace, chatrooms, email, etc, and suspect that your son or daughter may be endangering themselves, it might be necessary for you to monitor their email, Myspace or other system to ensure their safety. If you own the computer that your child uses to access the internet, it is not only fully legal to access or monitor their Myspace or email accounts, but in some cases it may be your duty to do so.

How to get your child's passwords

Unfortunately there is no magic code or hack to obtain passwords for email, Myspace, chat-rooms or other systems. Most of these systems are very secure and are difficult if not nearly impossible to 'crack'. You can however capture or record their password as they use it on each system by installing password capturing software, otherwise known as child safety monitoring software. These programs are inexpensive and can be easily downloaded directly from the internet and installed on your computer in minutes.

Find the passwords and have full access


By using one of the password finder or child surveillance programs available for download on the internet, you can see who your child is chatting with or sending email to and help ensure their safety. So far, the best "data catching" program (the data being passwords) that we've seen is All In One Keylogger from RelyTec.com. All In One Keylogger logs everything typed on your computer (such as passwords, chat-room chats, emails) and allows you to review it later. All In One Keylogger is inexpensive,they have a free-trial and it can be easily downloaded and installed in minutes. What makes All In One KeyLogger work so well is that once it is installed it is virtually undetectable - No other users of the computer will know it's there, and YOU are the only person that can access it. It's low price ($49.99) makes it one of the easiest and least expensive ways to help keep your children safe. Click Here to try All In One Keylogger for free


Worried about someone getting your password? Afraid that you are being watched?

If you are of the opinion that what you do on your computer is your business and nobody else's, then you need to take steps to protect your privacy!

Haha. I applaud your methods. Especially you, GeekAlready.
Do you not understand that not all kids are that simple. Oh, some think they are so smart clearing the cache and history and such, but someone like me knows that is not enough.

Parents, if your kids are in danger then fine. But you must let them grow up a little. Give them some freedom. The internet is a dangerous place, but if you taught your kid to defend themselves in some manner, you dont have to worry about all the creepo-s that may come and try to find you.

I know a good many kids who can easily crash a large companies servers. I know a 13 year old who will be microsoft certified as soon as he is 16. He already has all the knowlede, just not the age.

You adults have no idea what you are dealing with.
Those who are not so stuck on themselves and power hungry will understand what I am saying.

I have gotta say I am very unsettled by this whole topic. I know there are people out there with skewed ideas of parenting and human rights but I didn't actually believe people would be so open about these ideas. I'd like to respond to a few comments and hope to give an overall impression of how rediculous I believe some of this is.

"I need someone to get into her account for me as soon as possible befroe she trs to meet up with this guy again." - This was after saying that this guys young girl was attempting to meet up with an older guy and he needs to steal her password and acess her myspace profile. First off, if you believe your daughter is in danger do you honestly believe the best course of action is to metaphoricaly lurk in the shadows to wait for confermation of this? You honestly think that you should download software to violate her privacy and possibly find out what is going on potentially after they do meet? How, in any reasonable definition, is that considered good parenting? Talk to your kid and find out what is happening in their life. And dont think I'm diluding myself by thinking she will be totally up front with you or you will find out everything. What I do think is that if you are an effective parent you are involved in a strong way in your childs life. Make sure you dont let her leave the house at night without a good reason, check out her stories about where shes staying for the night, etc. Thats being a good parent, not monitoring her private conversations such as myspace comments, IM convos, emails, etc. Thats the same at wiretapping your phone and listning in on each phone call. We all say that kids are being so much more bold online but so are these parents who dont equate anything online or on a computer with private content. To allow your child to develop a healthy understanding of privacy as well as safety and judgment you must be involved in their life, not spy in the shadows like the creepy stalker you are afraid of.

"i want to no if my boy friend is cheeting on me but her made a new email and password after finding out that i use to get on his old 1 pleas help me asap" - I think this is a real motivator for everyone who is looking to access their childs passwords and other private conversation. Humans are curious by nature, its the reason we love to find someone elses diary even if we feel bad on the inside or dont admit it to anyone or ourselves. You know, deep down past the dilusions, you want to know this stuff partly because you love to know private things. I`m not saying that its the main aspect of your decision to spy on your children but its definitly in there. Its that part of you that makes you sneek around without your child knowing it instead of being upfront with your concerns and being involded in their life. Just as this girl that I have quoted is willing to violate her boyfriends privacy you all are willing to do the same to your children. If you love them, get involved, stop creeping. Not only is it disturbing, its wrong and bad parenting.

Comment back, I would love to address any justifications for this spying.

If you have issues with your child then you need to become a parent. Simple as that.

I recommend that my clients request the password from their child and then log onto the account WITH THEM. This is a way of taking control but with their permission. Then I advice that the parent tells the child to change the password, this gives the control BACK to the child.

I don't believe it.... I am sure there are a few of you out there that need to monitor your childs safty some, and this is the only way you can think to do it. But I would be willing to bet that most of the people on here saying some sob story about thier kid doing something wrong, adn they want to check thier private pictures, or log on thier account, don't even have kids. I would bet that most of you sit all day on your computer, and try to think of ways to get into your friends accounts, or something of that nature. Maybe I lack trust in people, maybe I am just mean, but if you are a parent trying to stop your child from doing something wrong.... then talk to them, be a part of thier lives, don't just monitor them from a distance and hope they do right... that is a parents job, to step in and make them do right.

You can buy a keylogger and steal thier password, but to me that isn't parenting.

There's no need to flame everyone, sure I happen to agree with you that "Key Logging" isn't the best way around and talking to the kids in question is the best approach but all everyone is trying to do is keep their children safe and your average child doesn't always listen when you talk.

I know, and I m not hitting everyone with that... usually you can tell who is just doing it to avoid talking to thier kids, who is doing it cause thier kids won't listen, and who is doing it just to be nosey. It's one of those things "If this doesn't include you, then ignore me, but the people doing it know who they are" kinda things. I am sorry if I offended anyone who is truely worried about thier children, and have tried everything else.

Hi Peapod,

I know this advice may come a bit late, but the info you need in court is not found on myspace. A simple website is much too easy to fabricate, and [in my not-an-attorney, but experienced in the matter, type of opinion] most likely wouldn't be considered significant evidence in court. As a paralegal working in family law and probate for many years, and now as a volunteer Guardian Ad Litem, I continually see families in crisis in court - and it's not a kind arena.

The info you want to arm yourself with is found in police reports, drug tests conducted by a clinic or a doctor, teachers, school guidance counselors, parents of the child's friends....any unbiased adult who can support your claims.

I feel for you and your family, and understand the hardship you're going through. Your best bet is to work together with your son's father in helping your son. Getting rid of the child's myspace account, since he must be at least 14 y/o to have such an account, is most likely your first step. Perhaps you could attempt to contact myspace to report an underage user?

Please feel free to contact me via my account here at GuG.
Best regards,

Re: How to get your child's Myspace password

Submitted by lefou on January 27, 2007 - 12:18am.

is it just me, or is there a severe lack of knowledge of myspace going on here? if you are concerned about your child meeting unsavoury types on myspace then don't jump up and down or resort to stealing their password, just talk to them! myspace has many features to stop this kind of thing, such as private profiles, blocks for anyone over the age of 18, requests for last names or email addresses, and other features. this is on top of the common sence that you don't talk give out your personal information. On top of that, predators are usually quite obvious as you can read the comments on your friend's profiles. It quickly becomes obvious that something is wrong if there are no messages that indicate that this person knows any of their myspace friends socially. If you don't respect your son or daughter enough to talk to them before "hacking" into their personal profile and running amok something is seriously wrong.

I realise that you have to protect your children, but at least get the whole story first! I am a young person and have been using myspace for years and so have most of my friends. I continue to be amazed at the ammount of bad press it gets. In reality, myspace is a place for you and your friends to meet up and for you to find out more about bands, comedians, and generally have fun. it is very useful for organising to catch up, or to simply talk to people you know. I use myspace to express myself and i feel that it is a vital part of my life as a year 12 student. I also use it to keep in contact with my dad while he is fighting in the middle east, and to update the members of my local church youth group (of which i am a leader) with what's going on. My social life would be diminished without it and i would hate for my parents to force me to delete it (although that would be within their rights to do so) because they read something negative in a newspaper.

My advice is to find out all that you can about myspace, make your own profile and add your child as a friend. Try it out for yourself, rather than denounce it and try to delete your child's profile without knowing the facts. Having said that, your job as a parent is to protect your child and if you have EVIDENCE that they are in danger, do what you must. Until then, for goodness sake don't give them a reason to hide things from you by violating their privacy and doing unnecessary stupid things.

Pssh, if your child is computer savvy enough, as in my case, you have to hire a profesional to install software and change settings on the computer to keep them from using myspace, there are alot of ways to bypass website blocks and such easily .

Well looks like your not too computer savy. I mean, a keylogger runs SILENTLY in the backgound. Plus it records EVERYTHING! So even if they use a switch-proxy and clear all there cookies, temp internet files, all theat jazz. You still know what they're up to......

Block Myspace: The most foolproof way.

Submitted by GeekAlready on October 28, 2006 - 2:14am.

Yank the cord.

Toss the freaking thing into the trash.

Do whatever you have to do.

This is your child. You only get one chance at this. Forget the whining of the teens, the dramatic demands for privacy, the oh-so practical and logically presented treatises on their need to learn responsibilities for themselves, and how they're much too intelligent to respond to messages from "creeps" (as though "creeps" are easily identifiable by Made For TV Movie Creepy Behavior, when they're usually *very* good at what they do, and seem like "really sweet guys").

You don't mention whether you're the mom or the dad, but your post strikes a mom-type chord with me, so listen up.

Lionesses protect their young with unlimited ferocity. That ferocity is in you, and you'd better tap into it, NOW. It's already months since you posted this, and I hope it's not too late, for you, for your child, but as long as you're both still drawing breath, sharpen your claws and do what you have to do.

My mother raised 5 daughters. I was the rebellious one, that took off and refused to account for where I was going or when I'd be back. I knew my mother was too busy with my 3 younger sisters to chase after me, or to fight it out, so I knew I'd always win, and I did. I was lucky. I had a unique set of characteristics - big brains, well honed survival instinct, and a complete distrust of other people, especially men - so I made it through without serious harm.

Except for one harm that stays with me to this day, and I'm 43 years old. I still can't get over the fact that my mother, even with all of the other crap going on in her life, and my father, dysfunctional and unable to love anyone as he was, and still is, just let me go out into the world like that. I was a kid, dammit! If you really love your kids, then you damn well drag their butts back into the house, or you follow them, or you call the police if you really can't follow them. You protect them, no matter how smart or capable they are, because that's how they know that you really do care what happens to them.

I have 2 stepchildren that I love dearly, and I told them, the first time that I set up computers for them in my highly teched out home, what the rules of use were, that I would absolutely be spying on them to ensure that those rules were being followed, and their computer privileges would be revoked immediately if I caught them breaking those rules. My house (as the parental figure, not the distant stepmother), my computers, my network, my expertise, my rules. They break 'em, they can wait until they're old enough to move into their own houses, buy their own computers, and get their own internet access.

Have you forgotten who you are? You paid your dues. You did your time. Don't let your kids push you around in your own home! Be the mother, set the rules, and enforce them.
