I don't have a saved copy of my > master.passwd. The system doesn't use master.passwd, so you can hack it all you like and you'll see no ill effects. To regenerate it: run vipw Make some change, then change it back. Save & quit the file. Your password database, master.passwd, and passwd will be rebuilt from the last time you ran vipw. Thus the edits you made directly to master.passwd will be lost, which I think is what you want.
