You cannot view their password, you can reset it.

I know, we can reset it but our management wants to see wants going on before they make any disession? So i want to see current password.
well it depends on what they want to see. if it's email, you don't need the user's password. if it's a folder you don't need the user's password. i'm asked frequently to check on "stuff" & i don't know anyone's password but my own & administrator. so, what is it they want to see?
