[Trisquel-users] Can I recover from moronic loss of the root password?

[chuck]

Extreme moronism alert!  It appears that I've forgotten my root password,  
since I'm unable to 'su' successfully.  I thought I knew what it was but when  
I enter any variation of that it fails, as do all the other tries I can think  
of.

Is there any way out of this self-created problem short of reinstalling?
