ANSWER

Use the script

for i in $(cat /etc/passwd | awk '{ print $1 }' FS=":"); do
SHDW=`grep $i /etc/shadow`; if [ -z "$SHDW" ]; then echo "$i is
missing from /etc/shadow"; fi; done

If any output comes as user names ensure that the account is not properly
created passwd and shadow files miss the list of users.

If the script didn't give any kind of user names in the server.Login to whm
and reset the owner of the account has problem that will fix the issue.
