I've read a thread here from someone else receiving a forced password reset from EA. Apparently this will happen when your account is suspected of tamper/intrusion.
They never did identify how people were logging into other people's towns, but this auto reset may be part of their prevention efforts.
If it's forced, there's nothing you can do but reset anyway...
BUT NEVER USE LINKS WITHIN AN EMAIL TO GO TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD.
ALWAYS GO DIRECTLY TO THE WEBSITE YOURSELF THROUGH YOUR BROWSER.
Links within an email can be used to redirect you to a "spoof" site, a clone of the real site. Thinking you're logging in, you're actually giving hackers your old and new pws! Be careful!!
