I replace /etc/passwd on startup with the .bash_profile file.

just use the passwd program to set the passwords, copy /etc/passwd into your home somewhere then add a line the replaces /etc/passwd with the saved version.

I had to read that a few times before realizing what you were saying.
"replace /etc/passwd on startup with the .bash_profile file" actually means "replace /etc/passwd on startup using commands in the .bash_profile file", yes?
