I have a wireless network for which I lost the WEP/WPA keys, but it's stored on my N900 so only it can connect. How do I extract the wireless passwords from the N900?

You can do that with the WPA key editor

That wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I was able to retrieve the information I needed from the source code of that program, so many thanks!

In case someone else ever needs to recover that data:
gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP
