I don't know why you're having problems, because Annette and Elena are normally
very speedy and efficient answering emails. Annette's online every day. I can't imagine for one second that they'd have got a password request email and ignored it, so something obviously went wrong somewhere.
The stories@annesplace.net address is actually for submitting stories, not password requests.
Anyway, the correct way to get onto the password list is to use the sign-up on the website itself. If you go to
http://www.nfanfic.net and click on the nfic link, a page will pop up offering you a box to enter your email address to obtain the password. Complete that request.
If that doesn't work and you're still having problems, email Annette directly at amciotola@aol.com.
Good luck!
