No offense meant, but if others can reset your root
password that makes YOU the retard.

That said:

Boot into single mode (on the boot loaders prompt add
single as a parameter to the kernel) ... depending on the
distro you may find yourself logged in as root, and can
easily passwd ...

If that fails it's a bit more complicated... :)



Cheers,
Tink
