Depending on the OS you are using there might be a shadow-file: "/etc/security/passwd" (AIX) or "/etx/shadow" (Linux), etc.. When creating/moving a user you should never just copy passwd-entries but use the respective utility: "useradd", "mkuser" or whatever your OS provides.
Just to be sure: you talk about "chmod" and "chown" intermixed. Which one do you have problems with?

Thank you bakunin. Sorry It's "chown".
I don't want to add new user B'cuz there are a lot of user and they have to change their password or not? And I cannot find shadow file on OpenBSD.
If you inspect the chown source, you'll see that it uses getpwnam(3) to convert the username to a uid. That function reads the binary database files /etc/spwd.db and /etc/pwd.db. Did you rebuild those? If you don't know what I'm talking about, refer to man pwd_mkdb.
It's safest to make edits to the password files using vipw. As always, if you break it, you get to keep all the pieces.
