It's a phishing attempt; just delete it. I'm kind of staggered that  
you're only now encountering this.

We get two or three waves of these a week here; last week we had one  
that quite accurately mimicked one that the University Info tech  
services would use. Still fake.

No email administrator needs to know your password to do anything with  
your account, EVER...we have the root password, we can do anything we  
want.
