If your password is solid and secure, and if you use it only on this site, then I agree there is no reason to change it.
The weak spot is the user name, which I'm hypothesizing the hacker got from HTLAL. However, even if we could change our user name here, it would cause a nightmare that I would not want to inflict on our admin or the moderators.
Right now the captcha is just a very minor nuisance, and, really, an added layer of security.
