sp_help_revlogin is used to copy logins along with their SID and hashed password to another server. It is not a way to get a login's password back. All that script will do is get you the hashed version of the password which is useless for the purposes of obtaining the password itself.

SQL passwords are stored with a on-way hash. They can't be unhashed to get back the original password.

If your DBA has left, you want to change the password

I'm a DBA.
I'm not paid to solve problems. I'm paid to prevent them.

You cannot recover passwords. No modern, well designed software allows this. It is a big security hole.
