finding password question

Not sure if this is legal or not, but I wondered if there is anyway to find out my OH hotmail account password. I think he's having an affair and I want to have proof before confronting him with it. I have tried to answer his secret question, but although I thought I knew the answer, the site says it's not right and I've tried loads of permatations.
Just throw the question out if it's something you can't help with. He uses his own laptop which has work and personal items on it, so I couldn't really put any softwear on it. He also uses sandboxie and firefox to access the internet and then deletes any files when closing down.
A quandry I know, but it's important to me. Thanks

I'm afraid I can't help you get the password but I did want to mention that even if you did manage to guess the answer his secret question you still wouldn't get the password. What would happen is that a reminder would be sent to his other e-mail address that he gave when setting up his gmail account.
Edit: sorry, I meant hotmail account.0 -
Not sure if it would be legal or not tbh, I know when we had someone at work who was always picking up his personal emails a few years ago from an online email service we installed a software keylogger and changed his password. The one we used showed it was residing on the notification tray but the pc he used was shared as we used a dedicated system and dumb terminals for general work based stuff.
So if you did use something like that, he may notice. Maybe an up front confrontation with him might be a better way of addressing your problem.
Edit nevermind just reread your Original post you cant get any software on there."Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I got a better one. How about I give you the finger, and you give me my phone call"
