    Check /var/log folder. you will find relevant info in auth.log and user.log.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Last looks in /var/log/wtmp and lastb in /var/log/btmp. Last shows you who logged in over a certain period and lastb shows a list of bad login attempts. If you aren't sure about things e.g. location of log files etc, always read the manual of the commands you were given because they contain that info.
