You can't. To sniff it would mean that someone else has the username/password, and you would sniff it out of the network traffic to the router. Since you don't KNOW what it is, you can't sniff it. You'll probably have to reset the router, then reset your username/password, and restore the backup of the config that you saved when you configured the router. You did backup the settings, right? :)
If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked.
What's more, you deserve to be hacked.

The manual should have directions for backing it up. It depends on the manufacturer, but most if not all of them have a menu option to backup the config, once you're able to access (login) to it.
