If any terminal is logged in as root, simply change the password to something (and remember it). If not, boot up in single user mode and do it. If you use Linux you can tell the kernel to start in single user mode by passing 'init s' as kernel parameters. From lilo it would be something like:
linux init s
- here, 'linux' is whichever label you gave this kernel in lilo.conf.
I don't know how grub or other boot loaders handle kernel parameters; somebody else?
