After you get it squared away, you need to password your login with something that only you can remember and that is a strong password (I'll give tips on making a strong password if you want).

A bit overkill, but hopefully you remember it and also you make sure that it's a combination of special characters, numbers, lower-case and upper-case alphabetical characters to prevent people from guessing it.
