Message notification at welcome screen unwanted

[Centaura Eblan]

My mother was using my account earlier and used AOL.
Later that day, after she'd shut down, I went to log on
to my account and under my name was a message that I
(under her screen name) have 31 unread messages. Remember
that the messages are directed to my mother's e-mail
address.
How do I get rid of this message?
Thanks - Centaura Eblan
PS Replies and e-mails very much appreciated.
