Not possible via SAB's API or webinterface.

Can't you ask your newsprovider to reset your password and mail the password (procedure) to you?

In that case you're out of luck.
SABnzbd's API provides no way to get the password, not does the web UI.
Unless you can reach it through something like Microsoft's Remote Desktop,
there also no way to get to the sabnzbd.ini file.
