This isn't a password issue as the provided password is accepted.
As the error message states, it is a shell issue. Possible causes are a broken root entry in /etc/passwd or a broken /etc/shells file. |

You need to boot the system with CDROM and enter maintainance mode and do the following.
you should "boot cdrom -s" then in the maintenance mode, mount /dev/dsk/cxtxdxs0 /a vi /a/etc/shadow -> Change the shell of the root user to /bin/sh. reboot the system I guess it should work fine...  |
