EDIT: Booting from Harmattan and editing this shadow file shows 2 weird lines:
dbus:!!:16051::::::
sshd:!!:16051::::::

normal?

- is there any issue tracking somewhere where we can list what works and what not?
Try boot back to Harmattan and chroot to Sailfish. There you can run the passwd command.
