I definitely had forgotten the passowrd but fortunately my account is signed in forever so I still was able to login. I might not have used the exact vocabulary but yea reset, means changed to a new password.
really
you forgotten password then how you managed to change without having old one.
you account was signed in forever, since 2014. I am surprised , many things happened during 2014-2015 including 2-3 times forum downtime but you were still logged in.
Including a stolen database and at least one forced logout.
