If you can edit the file from the GUI, just get rid of the 'exit' command.
If you can't, you can probably fix it by temporarily renaming your bash profile. FTP into the box as diego, then use the rename or move command to rename .bash_profile to something else. You might then need to log right out and back in.
If that doesn't work, log in as a different user (admin or root say) and rename the file that way.
