When the account hijacking scandal was about last month, Badspot took a hammer and smashed the password recovery system because it wasn't secure. I would guess that he won't be fixing it any time soon.

You can use a password recovery utility to recover it from the computer that has it saved. http://nirsoft.net/password_recovery_tools.html

There may be password recovery utilities for whatever device you are using to post from right now. Search around.

Okay I remembered my password. I'm back on my new computer. The recovery system needs to be fixed.

While you can I would put it in a notepad file or something. So incase you forget it.
