You always need a password for email. It's just that it's saved in the settings in the phone so you don't have to enter it manually.
I suggest that you try to log into your email from a web browser. Can you enter your password there? If you can't, then use whatever "Forgot Password" system Virgin offers to set up a new one.
Then, delete your email account from your phone in Settings>Apps>Mail. Add it back with the new password.
