It wont work on Windows I'm afraid since /etc/passwd is a Linux file not Windows. Windows does not have an equivalent because it has a secure data store for id's and passwords.
Actually, I think that the example you've given would be wrong on Linux as well since it should be /etc/passwd (e.g. have a leading /). Not sure if this is your typo or his and I HATE(!) this constant stream of time-wasting videos (sorry `node rant-off.js`). So I can't be bothered to wade through the video to find out.
