Open the keychain Utility, select passwords as the things to examine, and scroll through the list until you see the one you want. GetInfo in it, and it will put up a dialog box. Check "show password" and it will likely demand your login password again, then show you the stored password.

Keychain is very secure. If you forget your login password, or change your login password and fail to also update your keychain password to match, your keychain and everything on it will be dead to you (and everyone else).
