I was tried to get on minecraft, and my password wouldn't work
i changed it, and i got on, guess what. NEW SKIN FROM SOME RANDOM starfish!
How wonderful, I tried to change it, and guess what, my password was changed by the starfish, AGAIN.
Is there some way i can de-activate my account on minecraft?
I'm going to have to get a new account.

Try putting alt codes in the password.
☺like that.
But do run a virus scan.

Check to see if you have a keylogger and change your password to your email

Open task manager, go to processes and close anything suspicious or run a security scan.

Could any friend or sibling have had access to your account when you weren't looking?
