I'm sorry up front if this has been asked and answered multiple times but here i am.

I had an account with an expired password. I went to change the length of time before expire, but i fat fingered and changed the group. (don't judge it was a long night in a far away land)
and since the machine was configured with only one account able to change to root *yes the account i jacked up*. I can't access root to correct the file.
any help on how to access the root account to correct the file?
solaris 11, on a very old X-32 machine.
Thanks in advance.
