You should be able to boot into single-user mode (type "linux 1" at the
"LILO boot:" prompt) and when you get to the shell prompt ("bash-2.03$")
type "passwd root" and change the password. You can then reboot or type
"init 3" at the prompt to get into full multi-user mode. If you're going
to an X-login, try "init 5".
Floppy images are on the /images directory of the CD, or available on your
local mirror ("updates/6.0/images" under the mandrake directory).
