It depends on what the order says: if it only prohibits physical contact, for example, it would not be a violation, but if it prevents all contact, including electronic, it would be (being logged into your account would be a form of contact). Review the order to see if it is violation, and in the meantime, change your password and take whatever other steps are needed to lock her out.
