Forgotten passwords and fraud.?

Are all these people saying they have forgotten their password just trying to get into someone elses account?

Update:

Hunaida, if you read through Answers there are usually several people asking how to get back into 'their' account. If it was their account then all they have to do is request a password reminder. Most accounts I know of will do this. What these people are asking is information on how to get into other peoples accounts. I thought my question was straightforward. Apparently not.

    Hi.I don't know what you mean by "all these people". Be more clear.Who do you mean? The forgot password is very dangerous if you ask me. If you know the person really well you can get into their account that way. I think more hard questions should be there or people should start putting in random answers.
