If you have a root login enabled, login as root and change the mode.
If not, reboot, add init=/bin/sh kernel boot parameter to the kernel
line in grub. mount -o remount,rw /; Change the mode, sync; sync;
sync; mount -o remount,ro /; reboot (you'll probably need to hard
reboot because the command won't work)
In the future, visudo is your friend.
Cheers,
Matt
