Can you view your wireless password when connected to Airport via Admin app

I migrated from a linksys router to an Airport Extreme, and its all running well using WPA/WPA2 Personal encryption.

My question ia around viewing the WPA password, as it is all blanked out.

On any other router i have worked on, as long as you sign onto the router, you can get to the wireless settings, and view the password. This is great if you have a really long and non meaningful password, and you want to view it when connected to the router via ethernet to setup, then cut and paste the password.

Is there a way to view the password for the WAP once it has been set?

Thanks

Hi

thanks for the reply.

I can open keychain access and select my wireless network, then a new window appears.

I get 2 tabs then, attributes and access control.

In the attributes tab, there is a little check box that says 'show password' but then a confirm keychain access box appears and it asks me to confirm a password before i can show it?!?!
