I'm pretty sure that the whole thing is described in the Hints and Tips on
the IBM support site.
Important not to forget to "sync; sync" after making the change.

not sure, but you just boot with the install or diag cd, then choose to
start a recovery session, mounting rootvg. then you just type "passwd" and
set it. the trick is the booting from the install cd and picking the
recovery session. everything else is pretty straightforward.

Is there a good reference for resetting the root password on AIX 5.1
