Someone has tried to get my password

Some minutes ago, a strange thing happenned. I logged out from my 'Coyote' account to log in with the 'Driver-4.com' account and when I logged out from the 'Coyote' account it said that I have to retype a new password because the old one will expire. That never happenned to me before.
So I entered my actual password and then I typed in the new pass I'd like to have.
Then I clicked on 'Submit' and there was written 'hacking attempt'. I thought a hacker put this new-password-window there and it was a technique to get my pass. So I changed my pass as fast as I could and everything seems to work.

That's nothing to worry about.
It's just an annoying problem I face because I for some unknown reason installed a script which forces everyone to change there password every 999 days to try and prevent people guessing your password overtime, however this should never be the case because 3 invalid password attempts and you account is locked for 15mins and you'll receive an email saying someone tried to get into your account.

When I get some time I'll look around the code and try to remove the script that is causing everyone to change their passwords.

If anyone ever runs into any problems and for some reason they cannot get back into their account just email me and I'll sort everything out, until I fix a few annoying things in the script.
