Windows 10: How were my passwords stolen?

I recently got my microsoft account hacked, I managed to restore it and get it back but then whoever hacked me sent me a picture of ALL my passwords Bank, College ect. How did they do this and how can I fix it from happening Note: i noticed the file that had my passwords was named foo.txt

Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.

Epic Games Forums Hacked; Over 800,000 Passwords Stolen

What they are really saying is : they stole the user database but we don't store passwords, we store password hashes ... emails will be added to all global spam lists though.
