You had a 1.8 kilobyte attachment - some of us have small e-mail accounts.
Please try to avoid that in the future. The solution to your problem is
below, but can be found on the RedHat FAQ:

Question:
I forgot my root password. What do I do?
Answer:
When the system comes to the LILO prompt, type:
linux single
When you get the # prompt you will need to type the following:
passwd root
This will update the password to a newer one. At this point you can type
shutdown -r now and the system should boot up with your new password
available.
