Depee,
Do you have any non-root, local accounts on the firewall? If so, go to
http://www.securityfocus.com, find a local root exploit that you're
vulnerable to and run it. Most of them will give you a temp root shell
(bviously be careful and read through the source before trying this
however).
If you don't have any working non-root accounts, re-boot off CDROM, break
out of the install program, mount the local harddrive, and manually remove
root's passwd field in /etc/passwd. Then just reboot again (this time off
the hard drive) and log in as root with no passwd. Be sure at that point
that the first thing you do is set a new passwd. Hope this helps.
