Might have better luck sending an IM to a mod. No one else can do anything.

Re: FYI-Someone just tried to access my account here
Yes sir- You apparently receive a canned e-mail. Could be an honest mistake or someone who has been kicked off here trying to find an account to access. We had someone on arfkom who was trying account after account with a couple of common passwords; he gained control of a few accounts. There are also programs that allow a shithead to run a large number of common passwords against an account. Someone gained access to an account on ar15.com once that way.
Could just be someone who has a beef with me, but I don't know why they would waste time with my account here since I rarely post here.
Anyway keep in mind it's worth having a password with more than six letters and having some symbols, like @, and some numbers in a password.
The e-mail you get when someone tries the lost password tool here is below:
Hi Aimless,
A user from the IP Address: 122.57.106.151 has requested a temporary password for the Username: 'Aimless' at 'Sniper's Hide Forums'.
This is a temporary password that can be used if you have forgotten your original password. If you did not request this, please ignore this message.
Your original password will still work fine.
The temporary password for this username is: XXXXXX

Oh hell, I get that email once a month or so. The first time I got it, I went through and reset my passwork. Now I just ignore it. Haven't had any issues.
