Just received the following email from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, it is as

I have not requested a reset of the password or even been in my Apple
account section for some time so I assume someone has entered my user
name by mistake.
Probably no harm can be done but with the scams that are about I
though I would just ask if anybody is familiar with the way Apple
deals with there password resets.
Thanks

This is a typical way for a con artist to get your password .
If you have not been in to apple recently there is no need for them to
be sending you
an email about your password. Chances are that this is a scam .
If you want to check out your password ,
in a fresh browser window you type in from your keyboard an apple
address that you know ,
NOT the one shown in that email .
