If that's the case then I recommend booting into another environment,
mounting your root disk and removing the root password.  I like the
following distro for recovering from emergencies such as this

http://www.toms.net/rb/

If the password is not stored in /etc/passwd then most likely he's using
shadow passwords.  Remove the password from /etc/shadow and reboot.





-----------------------------------
If he's put a password on the single bootup option, he's hosed. 
He'll have to crack the password file - but I'm thinking that the
root password is not stored there...
