Password assign on linked server.

Hello,
Is it possible to know a password that was assign in the creation of a
linked server?
I have tha hash of the user password in Oracle and if i change user password
its possible to do the rollback. But in SQL Server if i need to rollback the
operation i dont know what was the old password.
Thanks and best regards.
Is it not possible for you to change the password of the account that
the Linked Server is using to connect with? You don't need to know the
previous password to change it. Obviously this may not be feasible in
your environment but I don't know of how you can retrieve the password
directly.

I need to know the password before change it because it might be possible
that i need to rollback this operation. So to change the password i need to
know what is the older password.
Thanks and best regards.
