You can delete the root password in the following way. Boot from the first debian CD; Just after the boot Press CTRL ALT F2 and then enter to have the command line. make a new empty directory "mkdir qwerty" mount your linux partion into this directory "mount "/dev/hda1 qwerty" (you may have to replace /dev/hda1 by the actual linux partition; you can use fdisk to see these). Edit the file qwerty/etc/shadow (with nano) find the line which begin with root and delete what is between the first and the second semi-colon (:) so this line begin with "root:: <rest of the line>". then "cd /"; "umount qwert"; reboot the system. You can now log in as root without password and add a new one with passwd.
