I broke sudo by rename libssl.so.10

0

While acting as root, I renamed /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10 and that broke a lot of things including ability to ssh into system and ability to sudo. I can't revert to the old state since i can't get root access(!).

I know its my fault but had no idea it would break so easily.

Can you tell me hoe to revert to working state?

Thanks!
