Is there anything else I need to do besides restoring the file, or is it safe enough to unmount the temporary file system, exit the live environment, and try booting?

]]>The good news is that I have a backup copy of the file saved on my backup drive from about a week ago when I last backed up, and there are also two passwd backup files still in the /etc directory (passwd- and passwd.OLD). The bad news is that I no longer have root access nor can I access my backup drive since all the authentication details were in the passwd file. Is there an easy way to create a new passwd file without root privileges that can be placed into the /etc directory?
Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you!
