Ok, I'm not proud of this, but so far this is what I've come up with for 
getting the admin password from the repository configuration so that I can use 
the new resourceResolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver(credentials) way.

Configuration[] configs = 
configAdmin.listConfigurations("(service.factoryPid=org.apache.sling.jcr.jackrabbit.server.SlingServerRepository)");

            for (Configuration aConfig : configs) {
                Dictionary props = aConfig.getProperties();
                LOGGER.debug(props != null ? 
props.get("admin.password").toString() : "null");
            }

I can put this in my service to get the admin user's password. 

But is there a more straightforward way? This pulls it out of the 
configuration, but is there a way to pull it out of the repository/user itself?

Should I instead be using the 
org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.UserManager to get the User, then 
org.apache.jackrabbit.api.security.user.User getCredentials method?
