Seems you made a mistake in mergemaster and taked new /etc/passwd file instead of merging it =)
Change root passwd with `passwd` command and restore your user profiles, cus seems they wanished too..

yes, passwd, master.passwd got updated with newer version. Solution is simple - restore it from backup.

Only if you've made them beforehand.

Choose Merge and merge the new things with the old, left is old, right is new.
