The most common route of access was by working out - or "cracking" - each other's passwords.
The poll of 1150 under-19s found that nearly half of those who accessed other accounts did so from either their own computer or one at school.
The main reason given for doing it was for fun, and a further 21% admitted they hoped to cause disruption.
The young people questioned took part in the online survey anonymously.
