The solution was following:
 - to enter as single user (I used Ctrl-C during FSCK running, but,
I heared, that is risky way)
 - to replace /etc/passwd with corresponding proto-file
 - to replace /tcb/files/auth/r/root with corresponding proto-file
 - to enter in multi-user mode as root with empty password and to
edit /etc/passwd as like
I have forgotten, that after entering as single user it is neccessary
to run "mount -u /" in order to make filesystem writable.
