Forgot root password

ralfthewise
Hey I forgot the root password, but I remember the WebAdmin one.  Any ideas on how to reset the root one?  I already tried what was suggested in an earlier post by passing bash as init to the kernel on startup, but it still prompts me for a password -

boot: default init=/bin/bash
Password:

so no luck.  Any ideas?  Anything easier than pulling the drive, mounting it on another machine and resetting it that way?  Thanks.

    you must remount "/" as rw, if you want to change the password it with passwd root
    "mount / -n -o remount,rw"  should work! as discribed in the how to from oliver!

    even you don't need the info anymore maybe its helpful for an other one
