I recently found my airport express from my move. Unfortuantly, upon starting it, it asked for a passsword to access the IP it had assigned itself. I have forgotten the password and do not remember how to retrieve/change it. Any help on the this topic will be greatly appreciated.

Resetting the Airport Express --> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044

or if you've have used it once before, go to Keychain Access in your Utilities folder and search for Airport base station password and unlock it from there with your Mac's admin password

Crzyskier3, Welcome to the MacNN Forums! I'm going to move this thread to the Networking forum because (as it says in the listing for this forum) all networking issues go there, including AirPort.

As Nivag says, resetting the Express will get you back to square one (factory settings) so you can access the device and redo all your settings. But finding the password in your Keychain is much preferable!
