if you have it mounted on another system, you may be able to chroot into it, and from there run passwd and reset the password. That should let you change it like that.

You really need to phrase your question in better english if you can :) anyway.. boot your redhat system with the problem hard disk attached. from the redhat system chroot into the problem hard disk and then type "passwd" it will prompt you for the new root password.

Type "man chroot" if you don't know what i mean.
