S4048-ON OS9 shell root access?

I am running a script in my S4048-ON switch, however, I've encountered some issues as I start to get "kernel maxfiles" errors. The script stops working properly and soon after I can't even login in. I'd like to try and remedy the issue through shell, but without root access I can't do much. Is it possible to gain root access to the shell? I really don't want to reload my switch every time something like that occurs.
