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

anyways tried to make a new account but it wouldn't take my password, what are the parameters? (ie, caps? length? numbers?)

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.
