If a bootdisk is available, you can go into runlevel 1 and change passwords. If you have a rescue CD, you can get in with that and delete the old password stuff and/or change lilo.conf and rerun lilo. Even an install CD can be used just to get in and use ctrl-alt-F<number> to get into a commandline (I can't recall which one, but I think it's F3, 4 or 5). There are rescue systems (mondo, zdisk, tomsbrt, etc) that allow you to get in and fix problems, and this could be considered to be of that nature. -- Death is just Nature's way of saying, "Hey!
