Whose password?

If root's password, boot with the install CD to rescue mode (enter
"linux rescue" at the boot prompt), let it find your installation and
mount it on /mnt/sysimage.  Then

  chroot /mnt/sysimage
  passwd
  exit
  exit

Pop out the CD and it should boot normally.

If some mere mortal's password, root can change it using

  passwd <some_user>

"man passwd" for more info.
