I booted linux in single user mode :
LILO : linux single

and it took me to the root shell
sh_2.04>

i executed the command passwd and changed the password.

Now if changing the password is ever so easy then everybody with the
knowledge of this procedure can do so, and cause unspelled trouble.

Now isn't this a security issue.

i'm not very sure..but one way to avoid this would be to password protect 
lilo itself
