Grammar
Request + an object + an objective complement
Someone with the ip address 198.245.61.149, hopefully you, requested the password for the account rxcd12 changed.
I'd like to know whether the verb "request" can take a past participle as a objective complement like the followings.
1) "I ordered him executed."
2) "I had my hair cut."
3) "I got my luggage carried."

149, hopefully you, requested the password for the account rxcd12 changed. I find this just about acceptable. I don't think I would write it myself though.
