i don't think so without using some sort of software, reason being is that it is a complete broach of security and privacy

Can i view it in the LOG file? I want to retrieve those who accessed it in the last 3 months.
if you have auditing enabled then you can view users who logged in butnot their passwords

if you have got auditing enabled in group policy then i am afraid not my friend
what is auditing?

Okey will try....
it is a server connected to a server. The domain does not resides in that server in it is in the other server although it is a memeber of the domain. CAn I still retrieve the username?
if you enable auditing for the policy that affects that server then yes, but this will only help you in the future, it wont give you anything from the past
for some reason i misread your question and somewhere got the idea that you were looking for passwords.....i apologise for my first two dribbling posts, auditing will give you what you need for future
