Assuming you mean that you don't know your root password any more, the normal way to fix this is to boot into single user mode and then just use the passwd command to change it to something you will remember in the future. Under openSUSE 10.2, you just type in " single" after selecting the boot kernel. However, it seems the openSUSE 10.2 defaults to a 'secure' terminal, so even then it asks you for you root password. So that isn't going to work. This has been the default for a number of SuSE (and other Linux) releases.
A number of ways have already been discussed.
