Grub and root password


Hi all,
I have a receive a box from an entreprise. This box containts critcal database. But the sysadmin don't know the root password. I know with grub, it's possible change the root passsword by booting in single mode.
But the problem is, to edit the command line , I need a password (grub protects this line with a password). I'd like to know how to solve this problem

Best regards,
