The server is co-located, so serial cables aren't an option. Thanks for
the advice tho!

The weird thing is that after logging in on SSH and getting the error
message, there are *some combination of keys* that allows execution of
BASH commands. I just wish I knew what they are.

Typing random combo's of backticks, ampersands, letters, spaces etc will
eventually give feedback: "-bash unrecognised command".

So it's still listening, and there must be a trick to it so I can
perhaps re-create admin's home directory?  Any idea where I might look
for that?

I think it's the case that SSH will allow me to execute one command and
then exit, if I specify it right. SSH isn't locking me out, nor is the
shell..it's merely giving me an error that's strange to get out of.

Thanks again, appreicate *any* ideas!
