Is there any way of setting a new root password?

Boot from a gentoo install CD, mount the roofs in /mnt/gentoo

Leaving laptop at an Exeter 2600 meet whilst buying a round of drinksdoes it just as well.

There we just boot "init=/bin/sh" "mount -o rw,remount /" "passwd root"saves the need for moving disks, or CD's.
