Based on the account changes, Spencee, it appears someone had access to your e-mail, as e-mail access is required to request and complete a password reset. In this case, I recommend you take the following steps.
- First, make sure you secure your computer. You will need to run multiple virus scans and if possible use more than one scanner.
