Hello everybody:

     When trying to change the default shell of root, I put in a incorrect
location (/sbin/ksh instead of /bin/sh) in /etc/passwd file. Without realising,
I logged out & now, I am trying to logon, it says 'No shell' or invalid shell. I
haven't set up any passwd for root. I even tried to ftp change the passwd file
but, I am not able to ftp as root as because ID does not have password.

     How do I fix this problem ? I do not have OS CD with me, I got is machine
pre-installed with Solaris 7.

Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance
Krishna
