/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.
