Retrieving Your Password:

I'm not so certain you can retrieve a list of it (electronically). If you think about it, if you could retrieve it, then anyone could. So, look for these in a location you may have kept a record of them in. So, reset it (see below), and then store a copy of it on a handwritten, hard sheet of paper. Store this in a location that only YOU are knowledgable, and only YOU have access to.

So, Reset it Using the Login Screen...

Reset it using the login screen. You'd go through your Apple ID to perform this. Find out more here: If you Forgot your Mac Login Password - Apple Support
