It may be possible to reset the root password by booting into single user

Subject: Recovering root password

Hi all,
I need help (at lest a link) as to how to recover my root password.
I'm using SL6.2. The password I remember by heart is no longer accepted, 
neither for the su command nor for sudo.
Thx
