No way, only its possible if you change the code to store the password in clear text, but really insecure practice.

Re: How to view user password?

Demian has the right answer, thanks Demian. smile

To store password in plain text (again, it's not recommended), you can add below parameter/value in iRedAdmin config file (settings.py):

STORE_PASSWORD_IN_PLAIN_TEXT = True

WARNING: Storing password in plain text is really bad.
