> Is there anything I can do to recover /etc/passwd

First off, BACKUP EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW!
Seriously, before you do anything else.

Then you can recover your /etc/passwd file by copying /etc/master.passwd to
a temporary place. Edit this temporary file replacing all the encrypted
passwords with a single character '*' and remove fields 5, 6, and 7 then
write this file back out as /etc/passwd.
