 * Hi I am a novice webmaster, running a car club website. Yesterday I got a email
   from WordPress that said “Someone has asked to reset the password for the following
   site and username” with the correct information. “To reset your password visit
   the following address, otherwise just ignore this email and nothing will happen”.
   I ignored it. Today I got emails stating “Your new password”. And an email a 
   few minutes later “Your username and password” Which was different yet. Looking
   at the email Property’s I see that another guys name from the club that I have
   as an admin. I logged in using my normal password and reset him to a Subscriber
   incase he has a virus in his computer and called him. He is getting the same 
   emails I am. I am wondering if something could have gotten into the website, 
   or WordPress? I’m not sure what to do. HELP Ron M
