Look at the man page for useradd.

Get all the information [like username, group associations etc] needed to create a userid in a file.

Read that file one line at a time through a loop, and execute useradd at each iteration to create a userid.

For password assigning, you can either place default encrypted password in /etc/shadow file or you can use spawn and expect.

If you can give us more information regarding the User ID requirements, like how the username need to be kept, what will be the group associations, and other details, then i guess people can help you with a good script.
