I think the best thing to do is to put your hard disk into another
GNU/Linu machine and use the fsck there to clean it. Also, the Red Hat
Linux installation CD has a rescue mode ... you can boot into that and
then clean the disk - no need to move it to a different box.

This experience should be enough to convince you that it is a Bad
Thing (tm) to give out your root password.
