    just change your password. that should be enough.

    make it no less than 8 characters, use letters and numbers, and FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T use actual words in it!

    a password is supposed to look like this:

    7f#m=4!p/0

    not like this:

     If hacked, you need to try to recover it, but it can still be used to commit fraud/send spam in your name, by spoofing. Warn all contacts.
