Well, if you're not using an SSL connection, it may be possible to
retrieve the password using a packet sniffer like tcpdump or ethereal.

If you want to read from the config file 1.4... well... all I can say is
you can go to a certain folder that has an xml file... you just need how
to play hex and base-64 decoding. It not really complicated if you know
your way through those two. It's so simple you can figure it out without
looking at the source code.
