Is there a way to retrieve your information by way of e-mail? A lot of sites have this.
Worse case, you might have to make a new account. Unless you are able to contact an administrator.
Their site was hacked (GBATemp) and about 400 accounts' passwords were deciphered... Mine was one of them...
My account wasn't compromised, but my password was, along with my email address... I was able to change passwords for everything before damage was done, but I want to change all of them... (this is one of them)
edit: email below

Hello,
This is Costello, website administrator of the www.GBAtemp.net boards.
We are very sorry to infom you that our forums were hacked earlier today, and the hackers were able to decypher passwords from over 400 accounts, yours unfortunately being one of them.
Not only have the hackers have decyphered your password, but they also know your e-mail address (the one I am using to contact you right now is taken directly from the list generated by the hackers) and as such your e-mail account may be compromised too – if you used the same passwords for both your e-mail and GBAtemp account.
It is recommended that you change your GBAtemp and e-mail account passwords IMMEDIATELY to avoid further damage.
Also make sure to change any account that would use this password. It is highly advised not to use this password ever again.
A statement will be issued on our forums in the next couple of hours.
Please accept our most sincere apologies for the inconvenience, we are doing our best to limit damage at the moment and trying to make sure other parts of our website haven’t been compromised too.
Best regards,
Costello
