Hey guys, why so complicated???

What's wrong with giving LILO a kernel command line of "init=/bin/sh"? This way 
you boot straight into sh, and you can then change the root password.

This is how I usually do it under Slackware, and even tho Debian uses shadow 
passwords it should work the same way.
