Hey guys,
I think i got some serious problem here. I just installed dotpac and removed all old files with the new .pacsave files. No i can't log in as root anymore, because i removed the passwd file...
Any idea what to do now?

chroot into your environment and create a new one?

So i boot from the arch install cd, chroot in my enviroment and then copy the /etc path from the cd to my enviroment?

I would just boot from a livecd (could be arch install cd) chroot into your environment (as a root user ), and because you're root, you can just issue passwd.
This worked for me back in time on gentoo, so that should still work I guess.

pressh is correct, also adding "single" to ur kernel line in grub might work too hopefully it won't ask for a password... ok i know u can't edit ur menu.lst, but u can always press "e" to edit the grub line before booting it in grub

I got it, with chrooting into my enviroment, but it still is a lot of work to make everything as it was.
