Don't reply. It's a phishing attempt. WOW would never email you and ask you to reply with your password. Very similar to this phish:

Thanks for the advise. The link you sent helped also. Good to know I'm not the only one who received this email. I wonder if there is any way I can report this person ?

I just received an e-mail from WOW, saying that this is a scam, and WOW is aware of it. Everyone should be getting this e-mail as well.
