Boot from a LiveCD, mount your system's root FS in rw-mode, then
chroot into the mountpoint (as root). Now you can use

passwd $user

to overwrite the password of $user.

Or you could mount the FS

cp /etc/passwd{,.backup}

remove the "password entry" in /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
^
reboot and login

cp /etc/passwd.backup /etc/passwd

and then passwd

cat /etc/passwd

as root will show you the users on the system.
