 Not unless you want to enter it all by hand..  The problem is, that the
passwords are already encrypted, so you cannot reuse them.

 As far as the system is concerned, once you have encrypted the password
then the plain-text version of it is lost forever.  I would not be one
to hack /etc/shadow directly, ooo no.. not me..
