.::You can calm down::.
This is a scam, mods never ever ask for password.
Just report the user that sent it to you.

As a person who has taken Linux 101, I can certify that admins and sysops don't need any password at all to change your settings, because their accounts are configured to give them full access to your stuff. They can even change your password if they feel like it. (Doing this bullshit will get them fired, of course, but they can do it). Thus, if they ask for a password they don't need, they're fooling with you.
