Retrieve your Plesk Control Panel Password from SSH
Generally you will not be able to retrieve your admin password on your dedicated server control panel login page. 
Plesk control panel password can be retrieved (viewed) from your Linux OS
login to SSH (use putty) using any of the accounts on the server
from the Linux OS prompt enter su (to login as a supper user)
Edit (use vi emacs) the file /etc/psa/.psa.shadow.
and view your password
Notes:
when changing your admin password from Plesk it will not change the su user password
you can synch your passwords from your hostitwise hosting center
If you are unsure of your SSH password, then you need to call help desk as no one will ever be able to provide your password information via email as this is not a secure form of communication.
Additional instructions on how to retrieve your Plesk control panel password can be viewed at this URL.
