if nothing above helps:

boot from the cd
switch to the console (Ctl+F1/2/3/4/5 - i don't know how it is in RH)
there mount your root partition if it is /dev/hda3 then:
mkdir /tmp/tst
mount /dev/hda3 /tmp/tst

then open in that partition the etc/shadow with vi
remove the encrypted password.
reboot
root will have empty password.

bye.
