Get a boot disk (like tom's root boot) and mount your root drive after
booting off the floppy. then blank out the password field in
/etc/passwd. Then boot off the hdd and login without a password, then
run passwd to change it. I'm not sure if using shadow passwords makes
this not work, maybe edit /etc/shadow instead of /etc/passwd.
