Default Root password lost

I have a computer running Linux that hasn't been used for a while by anyone but my brother, who swears by Windows, so Linux hasn't been touched in about a year. I decided to boot Linux and change a setting in an area that needed root priveliges, but I have forgotten the password. Because this is Linux I doubt there is much to do but see if I can remember the password, but does anyone know of a solution other than that?
