As a really quick and dirty solution his will create the mysql user for you (as root).

echo "mysql:*:74:74::0:0:MySQL Server:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false" | niload passwd .

Don't forget the full stop at the end of that command.

If the group mysql doesn't exist either, then this will recreate it (again, running this as root):

echo "mysql:*:74:" | niload group .

You might want to check what's happened to the user and groups with id 74 before you do this.
