You should be able to boot into single-user mode...

 If it boots up with LILO, when it says "boot:", type in "linux single".

 If it boots up with GRUB, select the linux entry, and type "e" to edit. Select the
 line that starts with "kernel", and type "e", again. At the end of the line, add a
 space and "single". Hit [enter] to get back to the main GRUB menu, and type "b"
  to boot.

 Once you're in single-mode, you can reset the root password with...

  passwd
