You may have installed the server in /opt/Plone-2.5.2/.  The password 
file is stored in that directory, the file name is adminPassword.txt. 

If you really do not have that, I am afraid, some other things may have 
gone wrong too.

Anyway, if every other thing went right, you can set a new password by 
using 'zpasswd.py' script in the folder bin or execute the following command

/opt/Plone-2.5.2/bin/zpasswd.py -u admin ../zeocluster/client1/inituser

then restart zope from /opt/Plone-2.5.2/zeocluster/bin/startcluster.sh 
or restartcluster.sh as apropriate.

Also tell us details of your OS, so that we might understand the reasons 
of failure.
