Password hashes are in "etc/shadow" and this file is readable only for root user. But "etc/password" file can be useful as source of all usernames, so you can next try pop3/imap/ftp/ssh/etc service bruteforce or wordlist attack. Basically - this password file gives you half of the information, needed for authentication ...

Thanks for your reply.
what i understand from your reply is:
i have got half of the information i needed, means
i have got the usernames from this file but no passwords
now i can use bruteforcer to get those passwords.

tell me if am wrong!

Bruteforce via some remote servive (ftp/pop3/imap,...) is ONE of the many options. If you get contents of "etc/passwd" file, then it's just one piece of puzzle! It's up to you to find other pieces and put them together.
And optimal patch for "getting in" or "pwning" the target will depend on server specifics. Be creative ... and read whitepapers and books about various attack methods!
