Airport Admin Utility: Revealing WPA Password

I'm able to login to administer and manage an Airport Extreme Base Station configured with a Airport Express Base Station in a WDS network configuration on a Powerbook that was originally used to configure the network.

Acccess control has been implemented via Aiport card mac address. However, I'd like to add a new Macbook Pro to the wireless WPA-PSK network but can't remember the WPA password .. so having added the mac address of the new MacBook I'm at an impasse: the Airport Admin Utility does not seem to have a reveal function for the WPA password, even when logged in with adminstrator priviledges; I can, of course, change the WPA password via the utility, but that would involve resetting the whole WDS network. Is there a simple solution to revealing the WPA password in this scenario to enable me to add the MacBook Pro to the wireless network?

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)
