at the grub screen select the kernal you want to boot , press e, select the line that has the kernel parameters on it I forget which one press e, at the end of the line typ 1 or single back out and press b for boot. The instructions are actually on the grub screen to pass parameteres to the kernel. You will then be placed at a prompt ( no password required) and can follow the intructions already given on setting a password. I would probably just enter passwd and enter a new password. exit will reboot the machine as normal.
