Then have someone with phisical access change or disable the password.
And prepare an ass whipping for the admin that setup a password and
didn't ensure someone else knew it before leaving for vacation.

The simplest way is to reset it via the admin interface of the
wireless device.  Anyone with legitimate access would do it that way.

WEP can be easily cracked with various tools.  WPA is a bit more
secure AIUI.

The bottom line is that the way to find the password is to look in the
admin interface for the wireless device.
