Got an email saying I wanted to reset my account password.

Hi, I got an email saying I had asked for the password for my account to be reset. I had not made any such request. Is someone trying to hack into my account or something? Not sure why anyone would want to.

Sometimes someone might put the wrong username into the password reset request rather than it being something untoward. Provided your e-mail account is secure you can ignore the message.

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
