That is not correct.  /etc/passwd is a convenience file, but no tthe
real password database.  You need to edit /etc/master.passwd, and change
the fields there.  This is best done with the vipw command.  Once the
master.passwd file has been changed, vipw will automatically regenerate
the binary password databases.
