Not in that log, while we understand the desire here these logs could
be stored for quite some time and the meaning of the username could
have changed in the meantime.  

SIDs and GUIDs are good long-term stable and predictably formatted
identifiers. 

It shouldn't be hard to convert using wbinfo for example, these are
intended for machine parsing and machines are good at doing that kind
of thing.

The message you were looking at won't show all password resets, only
some that are via kerberos.  That is why we added the new logs.
