root folders group changed in SUSE linux

The group of the /root folder has been changed and then logged out
I am not able to log in to the /root user as it is saying Xsession log in not allowed
Is there any way that the group of the /root folder be changed?

use Console;

goto a console (f.e. ctrl+alt+f2) login as root and chgrp your directory?
