Silver raven, my first email from Adobe was like the first one quoted in this thread.

Because it had a clickable link (I changed it in my quote to make it non clickable) and there have been phishing emails in the past claiming to be from Adobe, I did not click on that link. I researched first to see if this security breach had really happened. When I found out it had, I went directly to Adobe.com from a web browser and I saw the link on their home page, "customer security alert". I followed that link and took the steps from there. The email you described is like one I received during the process I went through to reset the password.
