I forget the password that I set this weekend to the "ROOT" user account.

Is there any way i can change it via the OS or 3rd party software?

Thanks.

Thank you much, i also found another very helpful way in which you can reset the password and not even need the cd nor know the prior ROOT password.

but its all in Unix :(
