You will not be able to retrieve a plain text password from wordpress.

Wordpress use a 1 way encryption to store the passwords using a variation of md5. There is no way to reverse this.

See this article for more info http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-is-the-user-password-encrypted-wp_hash_password

This is one of the proposed solutions found in the article Jacob mentioned, and it worked great as a manual way to change the password without having to use the email reset.

1. In the DB table wp_users, add a key, like abc123 to the user_activation column.
2. Visit yoursite.com/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=abc123&login=yourusername
3. You will be prompted to enter a new password.
