Boot with 1st CD, goto the Fixit Shell (will need 2nd CD). From there you have to manually mount the / filesystem and edit passwd (just clear out the passwd, root::). However, do an fsck on the device first (you may have to reboot afterwards) since if you have any fragmentation following an unclean shutdown, you will not be able to mount the device.
