Can't You get old password from User before binding form?

// in action:
$oldpassword = $user->getPassword();

if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') 
        {
            $form->bindRequest($request);

            if ($form->isValid()) 
            {
                // check password here (by hashing new one)
