Open the linked table in design mode. The select View/Properties and in the description the link will be visible with the UID and Password.

You can relink such a table using code like:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim td As DAO.TableDef
  2.  
  3. For Each td In CurrentDb.TableDefs
  4.   If td.name = "<YouLinkedTableName>" Then
  5.      td.Connect = "<YourNeededLinkWithUserID/Password>"
  6.      td.RefreshLink
  7.   End If
  8. Next
  9.  
Just relace the <..> fields as needed.

There is no password in there.... Is there another place to look?

Not that I'm aware.
Perhaps there's no UID/PW required for your excel workbook.

When there is, you could try to add hem to the link.
