You don't name the screen shot. Screen does that for you. Look for a file called hardcopy with a number suffix at its end. If that file is present and has more than 0 characters in it, you got what screen can do for you. To check screen's work, grep -i username on the file and grep -i password on the file. If you got lucky, both prompts will be in that file. wc -c hardcopy.1 to get the character count of the file.
