Boot with another distro and then mount the root partition. Copy file
/etc/shadow to another name then edit file /etc/shadow and change
line
root:!:14304:0:99999:7:::
to something like
root::14304:0:99999:7:::
You should be able to boot without password. After you have done the
fsck then copy the old file back.

PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they
are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of
email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on
meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too.
Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message
appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and
persuade others. In case you are already doing this ..... great,
spread the message.
