Hmm, did you do something silly like delete pg_user?

It's only a view, so you could recreate it if so:

CREATE VIEW pg_user AS
        SELECT
            usename,
            usesysid,
            usecreatedb,
            usetrace,
            usesuper,
            usecatupd,
            '********'::text as passwd,
            valuntil
        FROM pg_shadow
