You screwed up baaaad! That file is one of the essentials for whole Linux (or 
any Unix clone you may be using) working correctly. Get a copy from a friend 
for "template" and edit it by hand basing on the file /etc/passwd with this syntax:

'group' file syntax:

groupname:pass:GID:(optional additional members, comma separated)

'passwd' file syntax:

username:UID:GID:gecos:homedir:shell

Every user in "passwd" file has to have a GID that exists in 'group' - match 
existing "virtual" users (demons, system groups etc)  to existing groups 
(usually same or similar names) and create a group like 'users' with unique GID 
to which you can set all common ("human") user GIDs in passwd. Use high GID 
(>100, preferably >500) so you won't get in conflict with any daemon that could 
create its own GID.
