Hi, all:
I changed the default shell of root to "bash" from "sh"
with "chsh" this command but I put the wrong directory
path of bash in it. 

ex: the directory path of bash should be" /usr/local/bin/bash
     while I put it as: /bin/bash

Now I can't login as root or su as root. 
I am new to BSD and please help~
Thanks a lot!
Nelson
