Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

That's why there is a 'Forgotten Password' option.

It's not that I forgot my password, it's that the act of logging in to my old account would be giving you my password to the legitimate forums. And resetting my password is too much work.

Resetting an account sends an email to the specified account holder with a confirmation link and a new generated password.
All passwords are hashed and nothing is collected in plain-text.
It's fine to propagate a warning but it's misleading to state that you're right without proof of claim.

I'm aware that a reset wouldn't let you obtain my password, but that would require resetting my password which is too much work. Plus I already have a new account :>
