Default Re: /etc/passwd deleted

I tried to boot with s option but after switching to runlevel s I got some errors about services that could not start in runlevel s and also a message sulogin: cannot open password database.

I'll try with an liveCD but this way (single user mod) it could be easier for me becouse I don't have a liveCD right now.

Thank you very much ... both of you!

Edit: orr a live CD as BenderBendingRodriguez says (we are fighting being first to answer you, see what you did to us ).
When boot is finished and you are loged in in the console after the boot (from live CD or whatever), mount the roor partition of your normal system somewhere, then you go there with cd and see what you have in etc/.
