It seems somebody (phishing?) has stolen your account and changed the password.

its always best to include numbers and letters in a password
as in a1b2c3d4e5 etc then there is very little chance of it being guessed

Yup. Seems phished.

Did you activate the security lock (I don't think so; if it was activated nobody can change anything without security code)???

And it's futile to use a password like:

$3Jf*4%s$0sE46yU2ond

if you enter your login details on a rs phishing site:

I have seen people write that they have been able to reclaim a hijacked RS account, but I have no idea what they had to do to prove who they were. Good luck.

Yup.

Contact the customer support.

I've heard that phished accounts which have lost RS points (the first thing phishers do is convert/sell your points) have got them back, too.

But I've also heard that it will take some time to get an email by RS.

And activate the lock as soon as you get your account back.
