It is wise to have another root shell open while you're doing these kind of things. In case something goes wrong and you're unable to login as root, you can fix things through that other root shell.

telnet 0 or ssh 0 are both good ways to test passwd/ .profile changes without logging out completely, btw.They both create a fresh session through the loopback interface. If something goes wrong, youcan just close the session and get to where you were before.
