IntelliJ find SSH Password

Basically, I'm an idiot who decided to accidentally remove my password from my list (I use randomly generated passwords so I can't remember it and I was in the middle of changing my password). I'm used to Linux just letting you do it whenever you are in root, so I didn't think it was an issue. But you do need to know your old password to switch.

Now, here's the situation: I do still have the password cached in IntelliJ's SSH feature. However, I don't know where it's stored locally to obtain it, (if it's even stored locally).

I can't get into root on this system, and sudo is unavailable. Is there any way to retrieve this password?
