AFAIK you can't, but you can clear it from the security dialog box.

A User's password is his business not yours.  You can clear it and you can set
it.  You cannot retrieve it once he has set it.

Becouse it's not my business I want to create the workspace
Set wrkjer = CreateWorkspace("", username,password) using the username and
password of current User. I can use a user by default, but i would like to
make the user most independent.

Thanks,
Carla

Use a generic user for whatever it is you are trying to do.

What is the reason you want to create a new workspace using the current user's
credentials anyway?  You can always prompt the user to enter their password
again using an InputBox.
