I recently had a similar problem, where I had to reformat my hard drive and
re-install Mathematica. What happens, rather annoyingly, is that a new MathID is
generated when the program is re-installed and hence you need a new password. I
had no trouble in filling in the online registration form, and receiving a new
password from Wolfram. (Yes it's free - you own the software after all....)

Hope that helps,

David
