Step 1 is to provide the email address your account was registered under.
Please be careful, and enter it correctly. You are permitted 3 attempts per day.
After entering a valid email address, a reset key will be generated and emailed to you within 5 or 10 minutes, usually. I purposely rate limit our emails, just in case some clever hacker breaks in and finds a way to send a 100 million emails - they'll be queued up and sent one every 5 minutes.

Step 2
If the key is valid, you'll be redirected to your Account Settings page where you will be prompted to update your password.
That's all there is to it. ^_^
