Boot into single user mode, by booting your kernel with the "-s" option Eg: "bsd -s" on i386, "b bsd -s" or "boot bsd -s" on SPARC, "boot -file bsd -flags s" on Alpha, etc.. Fsck and mount the root filesystem, along with /usr if it's on a separate partition. Eg: "fsck /", "mount /", and maybe "fsck /usr", "mount /usr". "passwd" - and change it to something you remember. "exit" - to continue booting into multi-user mode.
