Your server should have an access log.  To get a clue on what might be going on, do a search of the access log for '/login/password.php'.

Bash shell script like 'slog':

fgrep $1 /var/log/httpd/ssl_access_log

$1 is what you are searching for ...

./slog '/login/change_password.php'

Will show all references in log for that URL ... log normally shows IP address in first column.

Shouldn't assume it's something malicious as it could be a user on your system that was attempting multiple times.   So a query of mdl_user table is needed:

select id,username,firstname,lastname,email,country,lastip,timemodified from mdl_user where lastip = 'IPADDRESS';

Don't see that IP in mdl_user table?

Consider blocking it.
