Try:
man passwd

I'm sorry you're having a problem, but passwd is not maintained by
coreutils, so you've reached the wrong list.  As such, I'm closing this
bug out so that it doesn't clog the bug database.

That said, you may want to ask on a forum specific to your distro; they
may have better advice on what is going on, or how to further debug it.
