    Depending of your Zope version, if you don't encrypt the user passwords
( check "properties" tab of your User Folder ) you can retrieve the user
password.

    External method example:

def getPasswordByName(self, username):
    user = self.acl_users.getUser(username)
    password = user._getPassword()
    return password
