change default login shell to bash without root access
Somehow our admin did not make bash
as a default shell during user creation. I had to type every time bash
after login to enable bash like below:

It is easy to make bash as default. Run chsh -s /bin/bash
or do below:
chsh
Password:
Changing the login shell for <usernme>
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
Login Shell [/bin/sh]: /bin/bash
$
Tada! It is done. you can exit and re-login to confirm.
