I've lost my Wikipedia password.
Is there any way of getting back into my account, perhaps having Wikipedia mail me a new password?

(Yes, I know I should have taken better care of my password. I'm bad at remembering passwords, so I wite them all down in a book. Unfortunately, I lost the book.)

If you had entered an email address in your settings (or when you registered), all you have to do is go to the login page ([[Special:Userlogin]]), enter your username, and ask for a password to be mailed to you.

I tried that, and it didn't work, so I guess I didn't enter an email address when creating the account.

A developer can enter your email address into your user preferences so you will be able to email yourself a new password.
There is a new page on Meta for such requests to be made to developers. Please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Non-development_tasks_for_developers.
