If you have allowed open registration for your blog readers, you might want to consider upgrading to the latest version of WordPress - 2.6.2. This new release of WordPress fixes some vulnerabilities and exploits which can be used by attackers.
Here is what WordPress blog says about this exploit :-
With open registration enabled, it is possible in WordPress versions 2.6.1 and earlier to craft a username such that it will allow resetting another user’s password to a randomly generated password.

However, this attack coupled with a weakness in the random number seeding in mt_rand() could be used to predict the randomly generated password.
