Ball cancer might do it.

Are typically not stored clear text but as a hash that only works if you put the original password through the hasher to check against so they would have no way of knowing what your password was. Looking at original source for ROM they cannot snoop or log passwords. The only person who could possibly give you a new password, then, is someone with direct access to pfiles which I believe is only Scarabaeus and possibly Umiron. That said, they'd have to go through the trouble of making a different character with the new password, grab its hash and copy it over your own characters password hash to reset it. That sounds like a total pain in the ass for them to do just because you forgot your password.
All of this is a moot point anyhow, though, since you have no way to prove identity in association with a character since they don't have accounts or emails associated with them. This means you could technically be anyone claiming to be a specific character in which case standard policy should dictate that admins not change passwords for unauthenticated users at any time.
If they had some sort of account system they could implement an email self password change or something but I know they've repeatedly said in the past they are not interested in making people have accounts. I also think that most players are also against it as they prefer anonymity so you gotta deal with the bad side of semi-anonymous characters that also have no account services.
P.S. Made into paragraphs so Ktsatidatrollishiousness will be pleased.

It's not that hard to break a password from a hash as long as you know the salt algorithm used in creating the hash and the password itself isn't terribly long. That being said I really wouldn't expect someone to go through the trouble to give me the password to my level 13 character...would legitimately take a lot less time and energy to just remake the character and reuse your role and desc.
No one is going to spend a few hours brute forcing your password to save you like 30 minutes of work.

I know because mine is actually 9, but I fat finger the end sometimes and log in anyway.
The best password security of the 1980s serving you today!
If I wasn't quite so lazy I'd look up the salting algorithm in stock ROM and then look up how to break it since most of the ones that old are actually flawed.

"Hi, I just made comeback in cf but I used a new password for my new char, and now I cant remember what it was."
Having correctly entered my forum password, character password and SSH key passphrase all within the last five minutes as part of checking out the details of your situation... yeah, incompetent definitely describes how I feel right now.
I'm sorry you lost your level 13 character because you can't remember its password. Good luck with your ball cancer, trigger whore.
P.S. I miss him too.
