I am still able to get in from an old computer where I had stored my password in the browser.
At the risk of stating the obvious: can't you get the password from your browser? Depending on the browser it should be somewhere in Settings > Passwords > Saved Logins > Search "Bitcointalk" > View password.
Alternative-
OP can simply land on the login page and go to the inspect element of the page.
From there, search with "password", change the password type into text from password, and hit enter. That's pretty much easy to get the password.



 If you are using an old Microsoft Internet Explorer browser,  there is no provision to view passwords but I have had great success with:

I really can't remember if the saved password can be accessible if someone is using Internet explorer through my above trick. I think it's possible.
