When you say "password is not read" I assume you mean it isn't
recognized. I'm afraid the weight of evidence is that your accounts have
been hacked (it's not 100% certain because you may have mistyped a
password the last time you changed it, perhaps because of a broken or
misconfigured keyboard at that time).

Try the password recovery method most sites support, but from a
different network and computer, preferably one you haven't used before.
Even this may not work if the intruder has changed the default email
address for recovery.
