I guess your linux password is not changing itself.. (b'z it can never). You have really chosen a very weak password. I suggest to for combination of nos and alphabates and then see if it again happens (also don't write password anyware in notebook or phone / PDA etc.  <--- Just to make sure that no one is able see it from there) .
