Try to retrieve the password using AirPort Utility on your Mac.

Open AirPort Utility (Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility)

Click on the picture of the Time Capsule

Click Edit in the smaller window that appears

Click the Base Station menu at the top of the screen up where the File, Window, Help menus are located

Click Show Passwords

If this is not successful, then you will have to reset the password again.

Study the information in this Apple support document about a Soft Reset.
