Q: 

Ubuntu server: manually changed /etc/passwd shell for my user, now can't login

I attempted to change shell from bash to tcsh via editing /etc/passwd file directly. Yeah, dumb move. I guess I've learned my lesson. Now I can't SSH into the remote server.

Any way to fix this?

PS. I can still connect to MySQL server via SSH tunnel. Any way to use this?
