I haven't installed RedHat, but try just pressing Enter (i.e. an empty
password). If you cant get it, boot from a floppy - I suppose you can create
one from the RedHat CD, or you might have created one during the install. Then
edit the password file and remove the password and re-boot.
E-mail me if you want more details.
