Can wait for your computer to be repaired. There is no other way for you to access the wallet without a private key

You save in your mail, it is completely possible to use other devices to access the mail and get the wallet code.

I think it is high possibility that you have been hacked by the password of the wallet. You should create new wallets that use. Next time, make sure you save your password in many places, or have a handwritten version.

Make sure you fix your computer fast so that you can access your wallet. Without it, you will not be able to access your wallet

If you let the password fall into someone's hand, it's best to move the token to a new wallet, and accept the old wallet. There is no way to retrieve or change your wallet password like changing the password of a facebook account.

Be patience, you will need to connect your hard disk to a new computer and then you can access to your data.
If the HDD has been damaged so I think you have to bring the HDD to a store where they could help you to recover the data.
If your HDD is formatted by mistake so it's simple, connect your HDD to other computer and use some recovery tool to recover the data back. In this case, please remember do not try to copy any data to your old HDD or you will not able to recover all data from it. Good luck!

Just what they have  said, your only hope to recover your private key is if your hard drive is not damaged.  But if damage say goodbye on your coins.

It is a pity that you have this situation. Try to restore the key on the PC. Next time, be careful and keep the keys on external media.

Well, try checking your HDD, if the HDD is not problematic. The possibility of your private key is safe.
I agree with mamesso's suggestion, backup your private key, do not save in 1 HDD.
Myself backup a private key on a mobile phone too.

If the HDD is damaged then your coin will not be saved, and I make sure you have lost your assets forever.
this is a warning to other members here.
Always backup your important data, or save it on Google Drive.

Theres still a change if the hard drive of your PC wasn't broken then it still recoverable and as said above you can plug it on other pc as well and have access again into your wallet. Incase the drive been reformatted then there are still possible ways on recovery. If you do able to recover then next time you should kept all the important informations of your wallet and this would really be a lesson learned for you.

You have no choice but to recover your private key on your computer.
How did your computer was damaged? If your hard drive is still working, its fine you can insert it to another computer or make it as your bootable drive just to see your PK.
