Please help me to retrieve changes.
Thank you.
You didn't just make your root directory readable, writeable, and searchable by everyone in the world; you made every file on your system readable, writeable, changeable, executable, delectable, and searchable by anyone who is able to access your system in any way shape or form.
I strongly suggest that you shut down the system as quickly as possible.
Then you can boot it up in single-user mode and try to restore your system to a stable point before you destroyed the system's self-protection capabilities by restoring everything from a recent backup dump. (You do perform regular backups, don't you?)
There is no "undo" command that can recover from you making every file on your system readable, writeable, executable, and searchable by everyone in the world!

passwd(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual passwd(4)
NAME
passwd - Password files
DESCRIPTION
A passwd file is a file consisting of records separated by newline characters, one record per user, containing seven colon (:) separated
fields. These fields are as follows:
User's login name. The default length is 8 characters. User's encrypted password. User's ID User's login group ID General information
about the user User's home directory User's login shell
The name field is the login used to access the computer account, and the uid field is the number associated with it. They should both be
unique across the system (and often across a group of systems) since they control file access.
While it is possible to have multiple entries with identical login names and/or identical user gid's, it is usually a mistake to do so.
Routines that manipulate these files will often return only one of the multiple entries, and that one by random selection.
The login name must never begin with a hyphen (-); also, it is strongly suggested that neither uppercase characters or dots (.) be part of
the name, as this tends to confuse mailers. No field may contain a colon (:) as this has been used historically to separate the fields in
the user database.
The password field is the encrypted form of the password. If the password field is empty, no password is required to gain access to the
machine. Because these files contain the encrypted user passwords, they should not be readable by anyone without appropriate privileges.
Use the command to edit password entries. This ensures that the hashed password database is rebuilt. If you have enhanced security
installed on your system, the password field contains an asterisk (*). The encrypted password is stored in the user's protected password
database.
The gid field is the group that the user will be placed in upon login. Since the operating system supports multiple groups (see the groups
command) this field currently has little special meaning.
The gecos field normally contains comma (,) separated subfields as follows:
User's full name User's office number User's work phone number User's home phone number
This information is used by the finger command.
The user's home directory is the full UNIX pathname where the user will be placed on login.
The shell field is the command interpreter the user prefers. If the shell field is empty, the Bourne shell (/bin/sh) is assumed.
The allowable values for the UID are unsigned numbers from 0 to 65535.
The command pwck can be used to verify the accuracy of data entered in the passwd file.
