Hi All,
I have changed the shell of the root accidentally to /sbin/bash 
How do I change that? 
To change that I need to go to ok prompt I think, and there I need to mount the root file system in order to make changes to the respective file.
Can any one please suggest how do I do that? Give me details of the procedure how to do the same.

This will be very similiar to recovering from a lost root password. Read the "lost root password" article in our FAQ section.
I am assuming you are unable to login in to the box.
If the OS is running, type:
df -k /
There should be an entry that looks like: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0
Write this down.
If it is /dev/vx/dsk/<something>, this is a little more complicated.
If it is /dev/md/d<some number>, again a little more complicated.
Put a Solaris install CD in the CDROM.
From the ok prompt (press stop and A to get there) type:
boot cdrom -s
Once the box has booted from CD, it will give you a root prompt. You need to mount the root file system.
# mkdir /tmp/a
mount /dev/dsk/<c?t?d?s? from above> /tmp/a
cd /tmp/a/etc
vi passwd
Change the root shell to /sbin/sh
Then:
cd /
umount /tmp/a
reboot
If you like using bash, which I do, then the first thing you type after the root password is always: bash
I have bash aliased in the root profile to exec bash so I don't have to walk back through the shells when logging out.
hi,
thanks for the reply.
actually I'm facing problem in goin' to ok prompt.
i have to go to the console through a tc and a normal key board.
what i did was manually rebooted it and then ctrl + ]
a telnet prompt came, there i typed send break...but all was fruit less 
what to do?

What program are you using to access your terminal server? and spacifically what keys are you pressing to send your ctrl break?
