I can't login to root on VPS server. But login to usual user is successful. I've tried to login username and after that change to root by commands su - root and su -. These commands fail after successful password attempt with message "Cannot execute username: No such file or directory" where username my current username.
I think that error come after my try change username login access with chsh command (something like chsh --shell /bin/sh username). There is no sudo access on my user. What can I do solve this problem?
