If it's a regular Salesforce User password that you want to send, you're pretty much out of luck - Salesforce doesn't store User passwords anyplace where they can be retrieved in cleartext. 

 

If it's some other value that's stored in a Salesforce object, then it's possible to send an email to someone once you have their email address. The Apex Language Reference has examples of how to construct an email message in Apex. And the Visualforce Developer's Guide can help you put together a Visualforce page that gets the user's email address. But in order to get more detailed help from people on this board, you'll probably need to give lots more detail about what you're trying to accomplish and the approach(es) you've already tried taking.
