I think the passwords aren't stored as plaintext on the hard drive, they are stored encrypted as keys. So, you would need a program to brute force or dictionary attack the encrypted password, and try to get it that way. Doing a quick package search (on my debian box), I see a program simply called "john" you might want to look into for this purpose (the package in debian is "john" also), but I've never used this program, so I can't give details about it.
Good luck!
