Cached credentials come into play when you attempt to logon to a workstation that's disconnected from the network. In that situation, the LSA authentication services within Windows will perform the necessary crunching of the user-supplied credentials, and then compare those to the cached domain credentials that are stored by the authentication service. If they match, then the cached access token is used to complete the authentication request. If they don't match, you don't get to use cached credentials.
You can't go the reverse route - take an existing user and obtain their password back from the cached credentials that are stored on the system.
