Getting back the root passwd as in retrieving it, well there is no way to 
do this. And with good reasons, it goes against the very idea of security 
of your system.

Unless your lilo is screwed up, doing as Rajat suggested -- 'linux 
single' at the lilo prompt will also get you there.

But coming back to your question, build the boot floppy using the same set 
of resources you used to install Linux on the said machine.
