Yeah, same here. Received an email from BA regarding account being compromised, attempted to reset the password through the site - and then nothing...

Seems like their password reset functionality is either extremely slow, or is not functioning at all. Will try calling later.

My Amex account was locked as well to add another data point. Partly my fault, I have strong, random passwords for my banking and 2-factor authentication on my email, but these accounts had the same (or similar) passwords. I should have known better but was just lazy...
