Ok I did a stupid thing.... I just finished installing SuSE 9.0 in my laptop by ftp, it took all night. So when it finished downloading all packages I gave my root pass, which I thought well lets give it an easy but hard to guess password and I did... then it asked me if I wanted to download some updates of drivers and stuff so I did and it took another hour or two. So downloading packages is done till here....

Now, the problem is I created my user account and everything, but i forgot my root password and now I can't log as super user to install software and stuff....


Is there anyway to find out or reset my root password without having to reinstall which would again take for ever?

thanks, kinda stupid huh?
