Password Recovery

Is there any way to recover an admin password from the backup file? I can login to the router with a non-admin password but that login is restricted so I can't change the forgotten admin password. Is there anything I can do to recover the admin password since I can login?

I think I answered my own question. Apparently there are now SNMP profiles and I since I don't use standard snmp community names it convert over into beta4 from beta3. If I create a profile using my non-standard names and apply that profile to the devices, it works. Interesting.
