Delete root's password from Netra X1

Here is the scenario:

I'm trying to delete root's password from Netra X1 (I'm the
new administrator and I dont't know the root's password)

Is there a way to boot from a install server and before installing
mounting / filesystem in orde to delete root's password?


I don't want to re-install, because I don't have the media to recover all the software installed in the server (aplications)

Netra X1 doesn't have CD-ROM

I just have 55 points..................Thanks in advance

You need to boot off a different media either attach a cdrom or boot off the network.  Do you have a jumpstart server?
