/etc/passwd will give usernames, /etc/aliases gives aliases.
There's no way of getting passwords except by cracking them.
Newbie Tip!
===========
In general, all your configuration is /etc or a subdirectory.
If you roughly know what you're looking for it's very simple to
grep in /etc for it.
In other words, if you know that you have a username say sglogger,
you type:
grep sglogger /etc/*
and you'll find all the /etc files that reference that username.

Don't top-post. It annoys people.
