Hi David,
There are a few options here:
1) Boot with the redhat-9.0 cd 1. Type rescue at the boot prompt. It will seem
like an installation at first but it will actually allow you to edit the shadow
file or use chroot to step thru changing the password.
2) Boot regularly and at the grub prompt append to your kernel arguments:
init=/bin/bash
HTH,
Harry
