If the OP has sudo set up, would he really be sending a mail to the
list? And if he didn't, setting up sudo would be a catch 22 now,
wouldn't it?
Though, granted, the OP did only say he lost root passwd, and not
superuser access...
Indeed and most often the most obvious solution is the one that you have overlooked.
