Sorry, but there is no way we would provide you with that information, even if there is a way to do it. How do we know you're not a hacker (no offense, but really, how do we know?)

In any event, even if you aren't a hacker, some hacker might see that information here and use it to hack someone's server.

You'll have to find another means to get the password. Have you tried asking the people who set up the SQL Server? If it's been abandoned and you're trying to gain access to it, you should try copying the data files (.MDF or .NDF extensions), re-installing SQL Server from scratch, and then using sp_attach_single_file_db to reattach the database files. It it well documented in Books Online.
