It's nice and easy.  Once the CD is up and running, you just have them
type:

passwd
  <newpasswd>
  <newpasswd>

/etc/init.d/sshd start

of course put in your password insted of <newpasswd>
If they don't know the IP address just have them type ifconfig and hit
enter.  It should pop up the IP address.  And, if they are behind a
router, just have them forward port 23 to the PC.  I think that is the
port.  I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. ;)
