Re: /etc/shadow deleted [SOLVED]

If you have root priveleges, rename /etc/shadow.pacnew to /etc/shadow. For each real user on your system, add line
USERNAME:$1$LZcl3n9n$Oux1SK0LxruXd/AOK1KKc/:13333:0:99999:7:::
and a line
root:$1$LZcl3n9n$Oux1SK0LxruXd/AOK1KKc/:13333::::::
The password is a single space.

Thanks George_K,
I filled the root and users, changed passwords.
