You should have a new password and access, Blackstär.

You need to find out how they are getting your password and ID however, or they will be back. There was actually two separate authenticators that had been placed and removed from this account -they'd passed it around.

I'd go over the instructions below very carefully, particularly the security and recovery bits.

---------------

If an account has been merged to a Battle.net, or if an email has been changed, or an authenticator added to the account (not the player's own) one of your first stops is going to be Billing. They need to get those sorted out first so the rest of the processes can continue.

    Players in Argentina should call 0800-333-0778
    All other international players should call: (949) 955-0283


Now, it's very very important to figure out where the security breach occurred. If they CAN get back in, they WILL be back. That, unfortunately, you can count on.

These two stickies should prove helpful.

You may also want to look into getting an authenticator for your account. It's no substitute for good security habits, but it will help keep them out of your WoW account.

Looks like you have a new password and access -you need to check your email, Teestrae.

Now, it's important to report damages soon - and it's vital to find out how they got your password and ID, or they WILL be back.
