Boot ntpasswd off SystemRescueCD, reset password.
IIRC it's fairly obvious how once you boot it.

Yeah, there's instructions for using it from either a CD or USB drive on the site.
Once you boot it, it'll ask you which image you want to boot, choose ntpasswd and it's plain sailing from there.
It'll only mess up the data if you use encryption.
