at the lilo prompt, try
linux s or linux single
on some systems this will boot the machine to a single user mode with no
need to login, then you can run (if memory serves) 'passwd root' at the
prompt and change the password for root
some people think this is a security flaw in linux but i have read that
this behaviour can be turned off and i believe is done so if mandrake is
installed with 'high' security mode but i'm not sure about that, maybe
someone can confirm or deny?
hope this helps
