Boot from liveCD, chroot into your system and change your password.

Go here for what brazzmonkey said. It's a knoppix guide, but your doing the same thing. Or you could run Kon Boot and bypass it

chrooting isn't necessary but it will get the job done. If I do this I just erase the password from /etc/shadow. Load a livecd... or another linux install, start vim 'sudo vim /etc/shadow', then go to the root line and navigate to the first character after the colon, then type:
d/:/
Hit enter and that will erase the password. Reboot, login to root from console, then change the password.

You can't really "recover" your root password... but you can "reset" it.
