Please can you reset password for $secondaryVPNaccount as this has also been reset somehow.
(Italics are mine)

Thanks.

Er, right. A vitriolic VPN with a personal grudge against you decided to reset both the passwords for your account.

There's no way it could be that you, oh, I don't know - FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD!

My VPNs are fine, thank you very much. Go blame something more likely.

Sheesh - not even 0800 and my Dumbshield levels are already falling.

< clickety *change password to "donotforgetmeagain" and remove password change facility* click >

That should get the message across!
