Retrieving password for Remote Login from Terminal

A friend was here yesterday and used terminal and Remote Desktop to access another computer. When he was logging in he entered the password and hit enter at the wrong stage in terminal (so it wasn't hidden by stars so was visible but too complicated for me to remember of hand). It was then entered in the correct spot and the computer was accessed.

Is there anyway to somehow retrieve this password from my computer? I have looked in the terminal history and the pass is not there even though it was entered as a command - only the initial command line to access the computer is there without the commands that followed.

Is there a file on the computer somewhere that would have stored this?

Use KeyChain Access.app
It's in /Applications/Utilities/

Use the search feature w/ the username or url... or anything else you can remember.

But isn't that only going to work if I actually had added it to the keychain?

I looked through everything in there, and did a search for the username but there was nothing there?

Are you saying you want to retrieve the same password he used? Or do the same trick yourself with your own computer?

I want to retrieve the same password that he used...

Shame on you! You won't find any help for that here.

Sorry but that's kinda slimy.
