You can do this from the console, by pressing control-alt-delete. Wait for the OS to shutdown, then as it's rebooting enter "-s" as an argument at the boot prompt. Once it boots, your root filesystem will be mounted read-only, so you will need to remount it to make it writeable. mount -a should be sufficient. From there, you can fix your root account shell.
