 passwd (at least on SunOS) can't be used to change passwords for other users,
and you don't have a username in single-user mode. In single-user, use vipw
to edit the /etc/passwd (or was it /etc/passwd.master or whatever. Someone
correct me if I'm wrong) and remove the root password (nothing in the second field),
then login as root in multi-user (it shouldn't ask for a password) and use passwd 
to set a new one.

 I'd think that the default password should be revealed in the docs or something
so it'd be easier to change it.
