On a stock install, telnet to the machine.
Log in with your own username and password.
Do su -
then enter root password when prompted.

For the more adventurous, get and install the ssh stuff from
http://www.replay.com and use that instead. Use an ssh-aware telnet client -
NOT the one that ships with Windows! Then comment out telnet in inetd.conf,
killall -HUP inetd, and your done.
