Let's just say (Mandrake 9.2) that my root password isn't working.

I don't believe I ever changed it, it just doesn't seem to be working now.  
No evidence anyone else has been in the box.  But the /etc/shadow file 
says it was last updated on 9/1.

I'm logged in the box as a regular user and I can log in as a regular 
user, but I can't su to root.

Has this ever happened to anyone before?  Has anyone been able to fix this 
before?
