So you learned that documentation is vital, backups are as well (so you could 
replicate the system without taking
it down), oh well, many people forget those steps ;-)

You could boot off from different media and perhaps load the slices and clear 
the contents of it, you need to be
familiar with booting from e.g. a livecd, and using mount, chroot, and the 
password changing tools.

Know that you are not alone (not by not having documentation etc but also by 
loosing access) :-)

Cheerio,
Remko
