- From what you write, I have to assume that there is a good reason, why
the person who installed the system did not give you the root password.
She/He should either give you the root password or take care of your
problem.
Depending of the configuration of your system, it might be possible to
'break into' your box, but this might as well be illegal.
Good luck,
