Fawad, I tried to reproduce the issue following the steps you had provided. Did the same. Could not reproduce the issue. You definitely had done something other which may have just deleted the manager app from webapps directory so double check that.
I confirm that for the manager app to start or deploy you do not need the tomcat-users.xml. So I am sure just renaming it did not cause tomcat to give '404' error. 404 means either the webapplication has not been deployed ( for any exception occurring) OR its deleted. So for this do the following : i) check if <tomcat-root>/webapps directory and see if you have the manager directory with all its content ii) If Yes, Check the server.log and startup.log in the server log. Anyway, I suggest you just install a fresh copy of the tomcat taking all the backup of your existing webapplication if thats possible . For me it seems the best solution.
