Hello,
I'm hoping somebody can help me. I didn't know quite which forum to post this in so if it doesn't belong here please feel free to move it.
I am writing a novel in which a character finds a computer (an iBook) belonging to a murder victim.
I need for that character, who is not really computer literate, to find out how he can access the user's account, view his emails etc. This character has access to a couple of computer friendly people - one of them a DJ who uses a Mac for his work (spreading the word of Apple via great literature ..*cough*...) and they could advise him.
It has to be something not too overtly technical but not something as easy as just guessing the password based on the hint given after three bad attempts.
If anyone can think of a realistic way of getting around this I would be tremendously grateful.
thanks
