Hello, You can try this:
Insert a redhat bootable cd, type "linux rescue" at the prompt, skip the search for redhat partitions assuming your / partion is /dev/hda, simply, mkdir /mnt/tmp mount /dev/hda /mnt/tmp then, vi /mnt/tmp/etc/shadow find the line for root (or some other account) and edit it from: root:$1$IZB9Uw3.$4NTpY7yOYzwRoq1ynyx78.:12445:0:99999:7::: to root::12445:0:99999:7::: i.e the second field is the encrypted password Unmount /mnt/tmp before rebooting.
