Reset Password

★★★ Newbie

My friend received an email that his account password was reset when he did not request it. In attempting to recover the password, the instructions were send in another language, indicating that someone else was using it. We are unsure on how to recover his account and prevent it from being further tampered with. Any help with this matter would be appreciated. The email is [edit: email address removed] and the origin id is morrowindmaster22.
