Hi, I just received my an email saying my account has been locked, due to five failed login attempts, but I have not logged in for a while. Was someone trying to hack into my account? I have just changed my password.

Hopefully you didn't follow a link from the email?

If you did, log in here and change it again.

Your email and passwords may have been hacked from other websites (it happens often).

You'd be wise to change all your passwords for sites that use the same email address.
