Welcome to the forums!

Just my opinion, but it would probably be easiest to simply reinstall, filling in all information before the installation completes. If you didn't set a root password during the installation, you might be able to boot into run level 1 and set a new password. You can follow this howto for steps in doing that:

There's no need to reinstall for such a simple thing, that's too windowsy.

Just boot from a livecd, mount your / partition somewhere under /mnt, then cd to it, do "chroot .", and use passwd to set a root password.

Single user mode should work as well. Just edit your boot line on grub and add a 1 to the kernel line if nothing else works.
