how to recover root password

Boot into "single user" mode.  When the the
bootloader (GRUB) menu comes up
select the kernel you are using, edit the arguments and add
single to the end.
It should boot straight to a prompt.  You can then run the
passwd command:
passwd root.

Then exit.  It should continue to load normally.
