If you can mount the disk, just go in an edit the file /etc/lilo.conf
and delete the line:
password=<password>
and edit your password file on that disk /etc/password to delete any
password for root temporially.
Change the line in /etc/shadow:
root:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:11190:0:99999:7:::
To something like:
root::11190:0:99999:7:::
Make sure you re-run lilo and enter a new password for root once you
are back up and running.
