well if the password was not freely given on the part of the owner then you are in a bit of trouble. however if the isp dismissed his claims as inconclusive i doubt he'd be able to prove it in court, criminal or civil. for future reference don't be so stupid. gaining access where you are not supposed to is against the law. don't come here and whine because someone is mean enough to punish you for doing something you're not supposed to. there's a big difference between unprotected and poorly protected. "hacking" into something that is unprotected you can make the argument that it was publicly accessible and you weren't doing anything wrong. something that is password protected is clearly off limits and illegal. also you don't have to damage anything or make use of the services for it to be illegal. simply accessing data that you are not supposed to is against the law. not a serious crime if the data was not particularly important or confidential but a crime nonetheless.
seeing as you didn't do anything with the login the fines would be pretty minor. but if he had more evidence, make no mistake, you would be prosecuted. the fine would be small and there wouldn't be any jailtime involved for something this stupid and minor. hardly worth the effort but he'd be completely within his rights to seek it.
