  Received today following email notification from WP:
  New user registration on your site Don Shoemaker Furniture:

  Username: ronvarence

  E-mail: (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  I do not know this person. I have not authorized this person as a “new user”. How do I erase a “user”? I do have subscribers but not users. Thanks

  I can’t seem to find that user on your blog. Please go to ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Users’ in your Dashboard to manage users.

  Today this”new user” finally appeared in my “Users” section in the blog – he registered himself as an administrator. I deleted him.

  Does this mean that he has somehow managed to unlock my password? This is a serious security issue..What can I do?
  Tks for your help.

  I have checked twice. I am sorry for the mix-up, the issue came up in my WP “Don Shoemaker Furniture” website, not in my WP Don Shoemaker Furniture blog. I have reset the “user” membership. There was a small mistake that I had not noticed…TKS. for your kind help!
