Unless the password is weak, you're not going to be able to get at it in a very short period of time. (After all, if you could crack the root password using some program off the Internet, then that would mean any of your users could do the same thing. That would be bad.) If you have physical access to the machine, you can reboot it and drop into single user mode to change root's password. This is covered in the FAQ. > <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> > [ ... ] Please don't do that.
