have CDs and can boot into linux rescue and mount file system. What next?
Edit the shadow file and remove the encrypted password from the root account. Can't recall what the file system is mounted as but it will
be something like
Rescue#> vi /mnt/sysxxx/etc/shadow
Clear the second field so that it looks something like
root::12566:0:99999:7:::
Reboot and volia! root has no password.
