Help - locked out of root account

[eludlow]

I think I've stupidly managed to lock myself out of the root account....

SSHd in as root, installed bash and then opened /etc/passwd to change default shell - instead of saying /opt/bin/bash I set it to /bin/bash

Now I obv can't login as root to change it back- anyone got any suggestions? Could I create a link of some sort from /bin/bash to /opt/bin/bash?

Thanks in advance.

OK problem solved - in my confusion I still had another SSH window open, logged in as root....thank god!
