You boot from a Red Hat rescue CD I think...
I think you can interrupt the Linux boot process - from what I can tell on
my SPLAT box, it uses grub as a boot loader. Hit E to edit the boot
options, and try appending "single" to the end of the "kernel /vmlinuz
...." line.
If SPLAT works like normal Linux in this regard, you should get a shell
prompt as the root ("Expert") user, at which point you should be able to
use "passwd" to reset it.
If this doesn't work, get something like a Knoppix or Linuxcare bootable
CD, and get it to find and mount the / filesystem. Google "linux root
password recovery" for the details of what to do next.
