What RDBMS are you using (i.e. Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL....)?

And on what OS platform are you operating?

There is no way to extract the SDE user password from ArcSDE or the Windows service,
but since Unix doesn't use a Windows service, the boot script may contain the password.

Your only real "recovery" process is to delete the service, change the password from SQL,
and restablish the service (via command-line or "custom" post-Install GUI step).
