you have two choices, you can reinstall or you can recover. reinstall is
straight forward. if you want to recover;
1.grab a boot cd (any linux boot cd should work).
2. go to the console.
3. mount your primary hdd.
4. chroot /mountpoint
5 passwd
6 enter new pass, reboot

alternatively, you can substitute step 4 for modifying pam, removing the
password field from your passwd file and you won't have any password for
that user.
