Sadly I don't even know what password I was using at first...

The password you were using before is useless anyway. They are all changed, so the old passwords are completely gone and irrelevant now.

For anyone that missed the reset email, I highly recommend trying to contact your email provider and ask that they stop blocking the eqemulator.net domain emails. I am sure that hotmail now has some sort of auto-block setup on it and probably a few others may too. If enough people contact MS about the hotmail blocking issue, I imagine they will fix it. Once it is fixed, people will be able to use the password reset option and will actually get an email from the forums so they can reset it.

And yeah, Richardo is right. If you used a bogus email or one you don't have access to anymore like an old ISP or something, you are most likely out of luck. The only option at that point would be for an admin to change your email address in your profile to a new one, but we have no way to verify 100% if a person is who they say they are. So, it is unlikely that this would ever be a real option other than for maybe a few that could be verified in other ways.
