Is there a T-SQL command or script that would help me in retrieving a lost SQL User password? I have just migrated a SQL server instances from one server to another, and in order to modify the SSIS packages, I need the password for the user that it uses. I would much rather know the existing password rather than change it.

That's what I thought... And so far I have found nothing for T-SQL when searching the web. I realize the security implications that such a function would inherit, but it is not saved (e.g., UDF or SProc), then the server instance is fine. I just need to try and retrieve an existing password for an SSIS user account.
