At the LILO prompt, type "linux 1" or "linux single" to boot the system in
single user mode...this will not ask you for a password, but will drop you
to a prompt.
Once at a prompt, you can "passwd" and put in a new password.
After that, "exit" and it will continue booting to the system's usual
runlevel, or you can do a "shutdown -r now" and have it reboot, fully.
