Where does AS/400 User Id and password will be stored, I mean in which Physical file

The credentials are stored in an internal OS object. The password is
encrypted and cannot be recovered. If someone loses their password, the
admin needs to set a new one.

Can we view the physical file?

No.

Everyone working with the midrange system needs to get comfortable with
the official manuals. These are found in the Infocenter:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/eserver/ibmi.html

For example, to find basic information on security:
Choose IBM i 7.1 (my version)
Expand IBM i 7.1 Information Center on the left
Click on Security
Click on Planning and setting up system security
Click on Concepts

The details are to be found in the Security reference (Security >
Security reference).

The Infocenter is available in many languages. Much of the reference
material can be downloaded as a PDF for review offline.
