Hey,

 

 

Try using code below and check if it helps:

DescribeSObjectResult describeSObjectResult = sforce.connection.describeSObject("Account");
alert('What is the prefix : ' + describeSObjectResult.getKeyPrefix());

 Refer this link for more help.

If you want to access the keyprefix in Javascript, you will need to use ajax toolkit, for that incude the following in your page:
<script src="../../soap/ajax/34.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

And in the javascript, you need to use:
sforce.connection.sessionId="{!$Api.Session_ID}";
var result=sforce.connection.describeSObjects(["objectAPIName"]);
var objectPrefix=result[0].keyPrefix;
console.log(objectPrefix);
