Boot Linux from a CD. Knoppix for example, Radhat installation medium or 
whatever. If you have only one big partition it's quiet easy!

Mount your local partition (e.g. mount /dev/<xxx> /mnt/wherever) and 
chroot into it (chroot /mnt/wherever). And then "passwd" to change the 
password.

Hope it help!
