Normally discussing resetting passwords isn't allowed, but I think that as this is Linux (so this can be found on Google), I think I can provide the answer:
This requires physical access to the server (keyboard/mouse/monitor): just boot to single user mode and issue a "passwd root". For details on how to enter single user mode, try Google.
