Add "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel's command line at boot time. Then it
will boot directly into a root shell.

However, if you've configured the boot loader to prohibit passing
arguments to the kernel (or if you've configured it to require a
password and have forgotten that as well), you'll need to boot from a
CD.
