That's what an SuSE or knoppix CD is good for. I think Debian has a
rescue mode too, that works (not shure - I use Debian, but for rescue
I use an old SuSE CD).
You could start from a CD and remove the 'x' from /etc/passwd.
You might have to remount the volum with /etc/ read-write.
Then restart, login as root (just press the return key at the
password prompt) and do 'passwd' to create a new password.
