hi,
of course you have problems since all the commands suggested require that you log in first ( but you can't ! ).
the only way is to boot on a minimal linux on floppy ( for instance : http://boot.everywhere.dk/ ), mount the root partition and modify the /etc/passwd file.
suerte, sevy

also i have stupidly locked myself out my root account by: chsh -s /sbin/nologin i thought this would bypass the login procedure - whoops! how can i get my root account back? this is my real problem at the moment thanks, rob
I guess you could login as an ordinary user and then use su - this is probably the easy and best way,
Maybe this will help:
$ su -c "chsh -s /bin/bash/"
ciao
