You can't, sorry. There is currently no way to recover lost passwords. Your only option is to make another account. And remember your password next time :P

Say it isn't so. Where are the passwords stored for the public accounts?

They are stored in a DB on the hosted server running the Login Server and Forums I am sure. And the only people that would even have access to it would be Rogean and d00dman. Even if those guys were still around, I don't think they ever allowed any sort of password resets or changes. I imagine that the passwords are stored as MD5, so without the proper tools (which aren't setup as far as I know), there is no easy way for a lost password to be recovered.
