    How do you mean 'network passwords'?

    Nearly all passwords (apart from Screensaver password and a few others) are stored using one way encryption, which means you can only write and check, not read - you need to reset them if you don't know them.

    Do you mean the username and password you use to access a shared network drive/folder? It'll be the same as one of the Windows login usernames
