Hello,

As you requested, your password has now been reset. Your new details are as follows:

What is this all about? First of all, I don't have the username s_mcgui, haven't even heard of it, and secondly, I haven't requested a new password in the first place.

Is this a mistake, has anybody else recieved this, or are we dealing with a hacker here?

I didn't click any of the links in the mail.

That's my password!! I asked it to resend my password cos I forgot it and it never sent it so I just had to reregister!! That's so weird!

That's ok but I still didn't receive my new password? It doesn't really matter I can just use this username instead!
