So hold the shift key down while it is booting. That will give you the
LILO prompt even if the delay is 0.
Your alternative is to boot off of a floppy.
You could also use the su command in a way such as:
su root -c /bin/sh
the -c option causes su to execute a specific command rather than just
running the default shell. This is probably the "right way" to do it,
assuming you still know the password.
