There is more than one way to get into trouble

Not recommended if you do not know what you are doing.
the exit command should return you to the default login shell
sh-3.2$ is a /bin/sh bourne shell prompt.
So are you talking about a Terminal session, or are you in single user mode?
What account are you logged in as?
What do you expect to see? Something like: computername:~ username$
I think you have a command prompt, so getting to the root directory would be as simple as
cd /
and
pwd
will tell you what directory you are currently in.
But Frank Caggiano is correct, you really do need to give a better description of what you are seeing, where you are seeing it, what you expect, and what it is you are trying to actually do.
Without more context your questions are meaningless.

IIn fact, sh-3.2 means that you are at root. Probably entered the sudo su command and is now using the super user. To return to your default user type the command: exit
