Yes. It's a common occurrence, and trivial to deal with - if you have
physical access to the computer or disk. And if you have such access 
then that password isn't actually protecting anything you couldn't do
without the password.

If you google "linux forgotten root password" then you will find these
techniques are explained all over the web, e.g. Redhat's site, Arch
wiki etc.
