Password Recovery for SAM Credentials

Is there a way to see current credentials as they are being used by the SAM component monitors. My first guess is no, but I figured I would ask.

I would guess yes, but that they won't give it to a non SW employee and only one of their developers would know how to do it. The engine has to use the password, so there must be a common decryption key the engine uses, but I bet that code is kept as secret/hidden as they can possible keep it.

The following reports in the Content Exchange should help you identify where your credentials are being used but as Steve B suggests accessing the encrypted credentials stored in the database is simply not possible. At least not directly. Steve B is correct, that even as the Product Manager they won't tell me how to decrypt credentials stored in the database.
