I log in as root via the screen 1, 2, 3, or 4 (Ctrl-Alt-Fn-F1...) and edit /etc/shells. Maybe you, for some reason, don't have access to your root account. I would then just use an install stick and escape to shell when it asks if you want to install, then mount the / disk partition and inspect/edit the shells file from there, then unmount, remove the install stick and try again.
