Excuse my poor English !

In IBM AIX (i think in many other Unix(s)), if you forgot the root password, you should reboot the machine in maintenance mode on a media where there is a boot image (the UNIX installation CD, a bootable tape, another machine available in the network, ...), mount the filesystems = /,
/usr, /etc, /tmp and, then, change the root password (command passwd).

I hope it will help.

Regards.
