My blog has been up for over a year.

I am creating a post, and as I hit save, I get a message "Your password is no longer good" or something like that...

WHAT?

So I panic, go to mySQL, change the admin user name, and password at the database level.

Now I get this email

Login: admin
New Password: 92c7549

How did this change? Did someone try? I am not sure what is up.

Ioo,

I don't know if this is the answer or not, but IF you have your "login" publicly displayed, anyone can try to log in.

They probably won't be able to (because they don't know the password), but anyone can go to "Lost your password?" and type in "admin" (a common username).

When I do that for my blog (we don't use "admin"), I got a message saying

An email with the new password was sent successfully to your email address.

Maybe?
