I had a myspace account and someone hacked into it and changed all my info (someone who knows me did this cause they put personal info in). My password was not something easy to figure out, but I'm thinking someone did. Is there a way to trace who did it?

There is not any way to trace them unless they committed some crime with your account. If that is the case, you could subpoena MySpace to provide the internet address of the computer that accessed your account. If not, you're stuck.
Guessing someone's password is not hacking, it is guessing someone's password. Or, if as you say, your password was not easy to figure out, they may have gotten it from somewhere else. If you use the password for lots of different things, or ever told anyone any information about it, they could get it.
Or, if your password is a word or phrase that means something to you, if they saw you typing it in they could probably figure out what it was by seeing some of the letters you were hitting and how long it was.
The only safe password is a random sequence of lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols. You should never share it with anyone.

Not through your computer. If they got in thru your account using your password, the computer would think it was you.
Just have to do some detective work among friends, family and anyone who would have access to your computer.
