> when it comes up, in rescue mode, type: chroot /mnt

I"m not certain that's going to work... what is actually mounted at 
that point? His root partition? What chroot does is to change the
root partition basically. Putting in "NEWROOT" is just a sample place, 
it's not meant to be taken literally. It's more like a variable.

Eric, have you tried booting into failsafe mode? It's one of the 
choices on your menu, or at least it should be there. failsafe will put
the box in single user mode (essentially the same thing as 'linux single'
(which may not work.)

Once you're in single user mode, you should be able to change the 
password for root 'passwd root' type the same password in twice, 
and then telinit 3 and login as root.
