Well, you could wait until a quiet moment (hopefully no disk writes happening), cross your fingers and then hit the reset key. When the Boot: prompt comes up, type in "-s" to boot into single user mode, then mount -u / passwd to change the root password.

There should be quite a few places offering UNIX training where you are; otherwise it means picking up a book on UNIX and working thru' it - there's one written by one of the regulars here, Greg Lehey, that is quite popular (can't quite remember the title, sorry) If you're already familiar with UNIX, you can always ask your questions on the list.
