got it
thanx to

Rob Wellesley:
do this -
hit CTL-X when the esmith graphic comes up at boot-time. This puts it into lilo text input mode.
Type:

esmith single

This boots e-smith into single user mode.
This logs you on without a root password but with SU powers!
Now type

passwd root

Now enter the new root password and confirm.
Then type

init 7

That shouldn't be neccessary.  You mentioned that you tried root and admin login using a NULL password... why?  Did you try root or admin with the root/admin password?
