Not one of them have been able to hack into my email account or provide me the password as yet.
hmmm, you don't actually know this, do you? You just know that they haven't told you they've figured out the password, kwim? I don't know what sites you contacted, but I wouldn't exactly trust them....
There are all sorts of password decryption programs out there. The simplest are dictionaries and then they get progressively smarter, adding in common substitutions of numbers for letters, etc. But my guess is that the business partner knew the password, or knew his partner well enough to guess it.
