Can't logon
I stupidly changed the shell of the root user to one that does not exist, and now when I try to lgon it says it cannot find the path to my shell and will not let me proceed any further. Is there any way I can get round this without re-installing the OS?
Thanks for any replies. |

What OS are you using? If you are using a Linux variant, then you can easily overcome this with Toms Root boot.Toms RooT BooT

I can't remember for sure but I believe that the boot process will either ask you for a shell to use or use /bin/sh by default. Of course, all of this is coming off the top of my head.

I have booted into single user mode but it wont let me do anything. I cant run the 'chsh' command and it wont let me edit anything either. I cant even progress into the lower levels of the file system e.g. I can cd to /usr but not /usr/bin even though that directory exists. Anyone got any ideas?
