    How can I retrieve my WiFi password from my phone - Xperia.
    I don't want to reset the router, if at all possible.

    Do you have a laptop/other phone connected that you can view the password on?
    Did you change it from the default password under the router.
    You could also log into the router if none of the above can be done.

    There is an app called WiFi Key Recover in Play Store that will show you your wifi passwords of any previously connected routers. It requires root though.

    Just log into your router and go to wifi settings to see the password

    Great advice. OP, if the IP address and user/password details (if any) aren't on the bottom of your router search for the model on google or post it here.
