Do you remember any username and password? (Maybe even the root-password?) If so, you could possibly solve your problem with that...
Otherwise, a Red Hat based LiveCD should do the job - just replace /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow with ones, where you know the username and password, e.g. from the LiveCD.
Caution: Backup your old passwd- and shadow-files!!!
That's all I can think of right now.

Greetings,
Nepomuk
