I'm pretty sure if you really needed to reset your password it doesn't let you do anything on the site + I think it says something like your password is 50 Days old please make a new one or something along those lines not 25 days.

I've worked with vBulletin for a long time now and if your password is old and needs to be resetted it will automactically link you to the password changing page and you can change it from there. YOU WILL NOT RECIEVE ANY PRIVATES MESSAGES and you will not be able to visit any link until to reset your password. Normally passwords need to be resetted every 50-100 days so keep a eye out

Added another PM, everybody beware. They also can ask for your password via e-mail. If you get an e-mail similar to the Private Message, take a screenshot and report to a moderator immediately
