Skype Password Has Been Changed

Your Skype password has recently been changed. You need to sign in again with your new password in order to continue using Skype. This is a security measure taken in order to prevent your Skype Account from being abused.

This is the message I started to getting on my skype. I did not changed my password and I am almost sure that no one hacked my account. I went to Skype forum and saw a thread where bunch of people experience the same problem.

On top of that when I go to change my Skype password on Skype site I am getting the following error:

Unknown error occurred. Please try again later.

I contacted support but still no reply. I used Skype correctly and I am also sure that my account is not disabled. Their support is catastrophic and I am sure they will lose bunch of clients. I myself am thinking to abandon skype and find another suitable messenger.
On their forum they only respond with lousy PM with an email where no one respond.

If you experienced same problem try changing your password by going here, and if that don’t help send an email here to ask for support.
And here is few of the threads:

It looks Skype is in big problems with their system.
