One other thing you can do if you don't have a quick and easy way to boot is to manually replace the hash in /etc/shadow with one that you do know the password for. (This might be the case, for example, where the USB stick is for booting ARM but all your other machines are x86, mount, change password, umount is much quicker than trying to work out how to live boot a headless arm system...)
Easier would be to delete the second field in /etc/shadow for root, so there won't be anymore root password (it's empty). You can then create one with the 'passwd' command.
