[LUG] root password

 

I have a Linux box working as a server. It works perfectly:-)
The problem is it was set up by a previous technician who has now left- taking the root password with him. Yes- I can (and have) mounted the disk in another box and can therefore get root access to all files.
Is there any way of setting a new root password?

Thanks
James
