Is there a way to retrieve the password to an administrator account, from another administrator account?

Example:

Retrieve the 'admin' account password from my, 'jesse' account (with admin rights).

Let me know please

No, all you can do is reset it.

So even if I gain root access and get into single-user mode (or just use the terminal)... there's no way to dump the file and then crack the hash/whatever? I know that you can do that in windows if you have the right access, and you can do that in certain versions of Linux (if not all).

So the question is how can you do that on a Mac? I don't know where everything is or the names of files...
