Okay.

Because /etc/passwd on the machine you are restoring to and /etc/passwd
on the old machine does not match, correct?
One solution is to simply copy /etc/passwd from the archive to the new
server. The "system" ID's will be pretty much the same. The critical
ones (root,bin) will be the same.
Alternatively get /etc/passwd from the archive and 'diff' the two:
diff /etc/passwd /tmp/passwd_from_old_server
This may give you a starting point.
