Hi Raghav, You can boot using an installation media (CD/DVD). For this you may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. When presented with the boot menu (grub or lilo), select repair. You can then change your root password at the command prompt. You may also be able to boot in single user mode, as root, by appending a single after the image name on grub or lilo.
Hope that helps.
