I haven't *tested* this, but I'm 99% sure it works:<br>
<br>
1. Download a copy of the 9.0 install media.<br>
2. Boot to the 'live CD' option.<br>
3. Mount the root fs somewhere.<br>
4. chroot into it.<br>
5. `passwd`<br>
<br>
It's *possible* but not likely that the live CD will also want a password,<br>
in which case you can choose 'shell' instead of 'live CD'.<br>
