2 Years before one my client given the password for a remote server available in USA, I have directly typed the password in the screen and saved the credential. Now I need to forward the same credential to another person. So is there any way I can know the saved password for that machine.

I would have thought (and hoped) that the password is hashed (i.e. saved in a non reversible way).
So, unless you know it (you don't), you will have to ask for a new password from the remote site administrator (I won't even mention a brute force approach which is probably illegal).

2The answer is wrong - passwords, on the client side, won't be stored in a hashed way, because when connecting, you're passing the orginal password to the server, which then hashes it and compares it to a stored hash (usually salted). – Frederik – 2018-07-21T09:37:22.600

@DaveRook: Client changed. New person do not know the password. – Deepak Kumar Padhy – 2014-01-20T08:39:21.270
Are you saying the client doesn't have admin access to the USA server? – Dave – 2014-01-20T08:46:31.840
