    N3200 - root access - error in /etc/passwd

    Thanks for taking the time to review my question.

    Fairly new to world of linux and thought it would be cool to SSH into my N3200.
    (Wanted to see if I could edit the NFS exports manually to allow users other than root to access)

    Installed Dropbear SSH... works fine. Used another module to reset root password... no problems logging in. Then stupidly, as root I modified root in /etc/passwd and changed /bin/sh to /bin/bash ... not even thinking to test this with a new user or check if /bin/bash existed on this box....

    Now I cant log on as root.... or at all.

    Is there anything I can do? Spent ages scouring the internet for a solution or workaround.

    Thanks for you help. (Appreciate I've broken terms of warranty - therefore not entitled to Thecus support)

    A factory reset should do it
