Revealing passwords to saved and trusted wireless networks (OS X)

Hello all. I set up a router at my parents' house the last time I was home; I cannot remember the password I set, and my father deleted the text file I saved that contained the information.
Now the network has been saved on my Macbook, and logs me in automatically whenever I'm home. Is there a way to get OS X to reveal what the password is?

Select the Airport connection in the source-list on the left.
Click the Advanced button toward the bottom-right of the pref. pane.
Select the network that you need the password for in the list of Preferred Networks in the AirPort "tab".
Click the edit button (looks like a pencil) right below the list of Perferred Networks.
Check the Show password check-box right below the Password field.
Viola! Password is finded.
