Unless you have an iPhone configured to back up to iCloud, or an app that backs up your SMS messages to your e-mail, or to Google Drive, Dropbox or similar on Android, @DarrenD1, you're out of luck - SMS messages are not retained on the network after delivery, and undelivered ones only retry for about 30 days. Also if your message was in Whatsapp, if you had that configured to backup, you are in with a chance, otherwise, not a hope.

Sorry to be so blunt, but you may need to seek a resend of that password using the company's or system's "Forgot Password" link, if there is one. If it was a Cryptocurrency password, well, that is it, sadly. Sorry, @DarrenD1.
