linux - How to restore the /etc/passwd file?

I was doing some experiment about resource-accessing. By mistake, I executed this command, $ sudo mv /etc/passwd /etc/passwd.bak Then I could not execute any command with privilege(eg. sudo mv /etc/passwd.bak /etc/passwd). When I shut the system down, I could not boot it any more. Afterwards, I restored the passwd file with a LiveCD. Any other approaches could make it?
