Hi,

Here's how to reset your root password......
   
When your computer boots up and you see the graphic of e-smith,
you have 5 seconds to hit "ctrl-x" and then type in "esmith single"
and this should let you boot into single user for
maintenance mode as root, when the machine has booted type the command "passwd" and you will be prompted to set a new root password.
