No problem.  For security issues, the passwords are not stored in plain text anywhere.

Thank you for the previous replies, but you did not answer the original question. 

I am a similar position, except that it is only one user that seems somehow to have suffered a glitch with a changed password - or at least the one I set no longer works.  I had set the admin option that users cannot change the password.


Is there any way that I can view the passwords that are currently active?

Actually I did answer the question.  The passwords are NOT stored in plain text - this means that you cannot see them anywhere.  You can only reset them.
