If you'd like to be root then something like this should work:

docker exec -u root $containerId /bin/bash

Bit unusual that you have managed to get a shell as a user account that
does not exist, by default both our SUSE CI images and the Android CI image
should run shells as root.
The Android SDK image should spawn a shell as 'user' (UID 1000)

You will need to mount /etc/shadow in as well for your password to come
through.
I wouldn't recommend mounting either file into the container though.
