Need to restart the system in single mode. With Lilo, it is a -s switch, with grub you add single to the boot-params of the kernel. This should drop you onto a root-shell, change the root password: passwd root Type in what you want :-) Just remember it :-) , then CTRL+d to exit the root-shell. The system should reboot then, restart it normally. done.
