This is your luck day. I had to go looking for the exact same thing today.

Open the Airport Admin Utility, then open the relevant Base Station, then from the menu bar choose Base Station -> Equivalent Network Password.

Good?

Ok, let's start again. Are you using an Airport Base Station?

Really? Sorry to muddy the waters, but that's what I have always done to recover from lost passwords.

It's still not clear what AirPort device the OP is using, and I'm curious how the password got "lost." Call me suspicious ("you're suspicious!"), but my computer security officer spider sense is tingling just a bit over this question...
