RE: AS/400 UserID.

I had no idea!
I never had a need for the info, but that is good to know.

Let me try to speak in your language.

If, (and that's a big IF), you have the right authority, you should be able to do the following from a command line:
WRKLNK '/QSYS.LIB/*.USRPRF'
As you can see, these are separate objects. Much as what you might see on a PC with DIR \MYDIR\*.EXE will show you seperate objects. There is no one 'file' which contains all the user profiles.

Can you retrieve the passwords? I'd like to say no. And many people will quickly say so. However, there are packages out there which will tell you userids with easily hacked passwords and that rot.
