Bhawani,
        You want to use pwconv. 

Excerpt from man page.

        pwconv  copies  the old password file information to a new
        shadow password file, merging  entries  from  an  optional
        existing  shadow  file.   The new password file is left in
        npasswd, the new shadow file is left in nshadow.
