Password keeps reverting after a reboot

We tried booting into single user mode and resetting an account (dadmin) with the passwd command. It seems to take the password change but upon reboot it will not take the new password. Creating a new user and resetting that password works fine, just not the dadmin account.

Is there something that is reverting the password after the reboot?
 
check your /etc/shadow file and see if it's been corrupted. At least I think that might have something to do with it.
 
Yes, check your /etc/nsswitch.conf to verify order. I usually recommend files first then whatever other mechanism you use for account information (Active directory, NIS etc)
