Thanks to the many many people who helped me with this. I bootes to single
user mode
like most people reccomended and saw that the passwd file and the shadow
were both 0 bytes.
I edited the passwd file and restored the lost files from backups. All is
well. Thanks to everybody for
being so helpful.

I had to reboot and I'm getting "error: can't find user root in passwd
file"
its an E450 w/ 2.51. Any experiences with this?
