yes! :-))
at the lilo prompt type (hope, you did not protect lilo with the same
password ;-)):
linux init=/bin/sh (possibly also root=/dev/... AFTER init=)
this will drop you in a password-free root shell.
then run
mount -n -o rw,remount /
to make root writeable. then just passwd and the thing is done.
remount again in ro mode, hit the reset switch and boot as normal.
