Hello everyone.
To make my system more secure I made a big mistake when changing the root account setting in /etc/passwd file. I changed the root account's shell to /sbin/nologin becase I wanted to login to the root by sudo su. Anyway, after doing that, I logged in by another user account ad then typed sudo su command in order to log in to root via my current account; however, I got this message "This account is currently not available".
Is there anyway to redo what I have done or anyway to access to root account from another user account?
"This account is currently not available" ... Please help

Hi,
You might be able to fix this by booting from a live CD, mounting the partition where your filesystem is stored and then editing the file from there?

Use sudo su -s /bin/bash
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
