I am embarrassed!

I was changing user passwd's in root, and I enterted passwd without a
user name (I was distracted). When I rebooted, I couldn't get into root
because I had unwittingly changed the root passwd.

I have tried using a boot floppy. The change root passwd option is
avaialable in the menu, but when I select it, it just redisplays the
menu.

I can still log on as an ordinary user, but I need to get into root.

Please help!
