It is possible to boot with a rescue CD and remove or change the root password, but if you're certain the password has changed, I'd be worried about running a compromised system.
As I'd already mentioned, my problem is solved. But as I also mentioned, but maybe didn't emphasize enough, the problem was never a password change. It was interference from something called scim, which aids in multilingual environments by intercepting (apparently) keystrokes and interpreting them for multiple language support. I was typing the correct password, but it was never getting to the authentication code. It was being intercepted and changed by scim. Once I found this out, and set scim to "en-keyboard" (and, later, that exiting from the toolbar solved the problem), there was no more problem.
