how to change roots shell

 tried it and i get the following error:

su: change: No such file or directory

What happened originally is I accidently changed the shell to "change" and now i get the following error when I su.

su: change: No such file or directory

This is a remote system so if at all possable i need to do it through ssh.

Thanks
