As far as I know, if you forget root password, you have to recreate the system. Please correct me if I were wrong.

Have no fear, there is a way. I would post the procedure, but my conscience prevents me from doing so. Email me directly and I'll send you steps...

If Jeff's way doesn't work, post your email address and I'll send you the steps. Good thought Jeff.

Hi
Try to find thru /etc/passwd file if any user has userid as 0 if somebody has userid as 0 he has a root/superuser privilege.If you dont have any user with userid zero then last option as irehman stated sun support.
