Resolution

Apart from the password reminder available on the login screen, you can use the plesksrvclient.exe utility located in %plesk_bin% folder to set up a new password or retrieve the old one.

You could set the new passsword by running the following command:

"%plesk_bin%\plesksrvclient" -set <new_password> true

You could also get the current password by running this utility with:

"%plesk_bin%\plesksrvclient" -get


To retrieve password in command line you can use -nogui option:

E.g.

"%plesk_bin%\plesksrvclient" -get  -nogui > plesk_password.txt


After that you can see retrieved Plesk password in plesk_password.txt file.
