[darkjant]

hi ,

I have a problem similar but what commands should I use to restore my root account


thanks

[zenwalker]

Which commands have been tried? Is it a new install?

[darkjant]

I am using debian

my problem is that i was trying to install cshell but I did not complete and I changed the shell for the root

now when I am trying to login as root it gives me the following message

Cannot execute --csh: No such file or directory

my /etc/passwd

root:0:0:root:/root:--csh


I think it can be fix by changing the top line to /bin/bash but I cant because need root pass to do that the sudo is not enable

what can I try?


it is not a new install I been using this for a while and have a lot of important stuff



thanks
