I'm search a command in unix which show to me all users with the passwords. In unix i'm only a user and not an admin. if anybody knows pls help me:)

Passwords, no, they're encrypted. Users, yes:

cat /etc/passwd

same as any other *NIX. Unless the /etc/passwd file is not readable by you, in which case, I don't know.

EDIT: that command gives all kinds of other useless crap. Do the following for only the usernames

cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1

neowin does not assist in "hacking" or "cracking" systems there is no legit reason why a user would need this information
There is really no way for even an admin to pull that information. It is stored as an md5sum hash, anyway.

MrA's post is the most info that anyone can get.

If the original poster is looking to "crack" a box, he has a lot to learn. ;)
