Nope - you can't do that. SNMPv3 authentication doesn't work that way. The password is used to generate a (localised) key which is then used to generate a digital checksum for each message. Both of these stages are one-way - you can't use the signature of a message to get the localised key, and you can't use the localised key to get the pass phrase.
