If you are an admin, and you have access to the web admin pages for SIMS,
you can get the password for an account. When you click on the account
name to view it, control-click it, and choose Open Link In New Window (or
use whatever method you like for opening links in a new window).
Then when the account detail page is frontmost, choose "Show Source", and
skim down, the password is in clear text in the source of the page (you
have to look thru it a bit to find the correct form field, but it is
there).
I use this trick alot when I forget a password and don't want to reset it
(because resetting it means I have to remember to reset the saved
passwords in all my email apps).
