If it's on a SD card put that card in another system that can read it and if that system has the same OS and password can copy the /root/.ssh to it and your password will be the same then.

Or /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow

Copy that from a new load with a password set and it should be the same password then.

It will be a Pre-encrypted password.
