Hi,

Simple follow these steps:
1. restart your machine.
2. when LILO appear write this     linux -s
3. The linux will start in a single mode.
4. when you get a shell write passwd command
5. change the root password and restart your computer again.
6. be happy you are in :)

If you can login as root already then in an Xterm
type

passwd guest
then type the password
then trype it again
then try to log in...
