Oh my goodness, he already answered! He says someone is playing a prank, like ringing a doorbell, and that there is "no cause to worry".
A new thought: I wonder if there are other boards that had the same thing happen? Somebody getting their jollies out of hacking, or testing their program-writing skills?

That happens regularly in HTML-based chat rooms. But this is an example of neither. There's a button right up front on the login page: "I forgot my password." I clicked on it and Viola's your aunt! A temporary password message, identical to the one may of us received (except it features my own IP#) was immediately mailed to me.
