[solved] where can I check wrong login user name?

I made stupid error - after boot we have something like this:

Arch Linux 4.10.11-1-ARCH (tty1)
host login:

but I did not write username (as expected), but my password !
(too fast fingers...)
Of course user with "password name" is not exist.

In Linux everything is logged.

Where can I check place of last host login (with users name?) ?
In this hypothetical place my password will be recorded as "trying to log as user....".

I need to delete this hypothetical *log file.

Systemd#Journal see the filtering options to narrow the search down to one boot.
Edit:
Alternatively you could just change the user's password.
