[opensuse] root password in shadow?

Hi all,
In SuSE Linux 9.x I used to be able to reset the root password in the
/etc/shadow file to nul, and could reboot without password and give a
new one. I have read somewhere that this loophole was removed in later
OpenSUSE versions. I actually tried to do the same trick in OpenSUSE
10.3; no go.
Is there another way to delete or reset the root password if U can't
remember it any more on OpenSUSE versions?
:-)
