They should certainly give it to you. More than likely, it will have a seperate password for the cable-modem half of the device anyway.
Not that there's anything wrong w/ you wanting to setup port forwarding (other than the fact that you're probably going to open up a gaping security hole). But if you dont' want to get into that with them, you can always say that you have a right/concern to verify that their DEFAULT setup hasn't left inappropriate (read as "stupid") ports open into your personal network.
