if you have forgotten your root password:
get a linux live CD like Knoppix and boot that
mount your /dev/hda or whatever your root partition is
edit /etc/passwd and/or /etc/shadow to remove the root password. The password is in the second field.
If this value in /etc/passwd is "x" then you are using shadow passwords, in which case the password is in /etc/shadow. Jurst remove everything between the first and second colon in ":" in /etc/shadow.
Don't forget to unmount your drive before rebooting.
You can also google for "remove root password"
