Can't login root account due to can't find root shell

Hi, yesterday, I changed root's shell in /etc/passwd, cause a mistake then I can not log in root account (can't find correct shell). I attempted to log in single-mode, however, it prompted for single-mode's password then I type root's password but still can not log in.
I'm using AIX 5L version 5.2 with machine pSeries 655.
Is there anyway to solve this problem without using a bootCD ?
Please help.
