Somebody trying to hack my password?

[tim]

Twice now I have got email from MSFN like this:

tim,

This email has been sent from http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php.

You have received this email because a user account password recovery

was instigated by you on MSFN.

I did not instigate a password recovery.

Does this mean somebody is trying to get into my account?

Can you trace who initiated the request?

IP address of sender: 212.84.112.146

I don't know why that's happen. I will investigate it.

IP is located in London.

It's nothing to worry about. The name tim can be fairly common, so someone else who thought he registered on this site as "tim" couldn't figure out his password, only it didn't get emailed to him when he requested a password recovery.

It happened to me once on another site!
