Changing Root shell

by volksjager . Updated 25 years, 11 months ago

I have a user who has foolishly tried to change the shell type that root uses to bash by vi’ing the /etc/passwd file. Unfortunately whenever you try to login as root it states that no shell is available and promptly throws you out. Can anyone offer any suggestions to help me fix this problem?
