You can go to /private/etc/ manually and edit the master.passwd

To reset/change your root password (requires root access)

Open MobileTerminal. Run "passwd" and type in your new password twice. Please note that your keypresses will not be displayed on the terminal screen (for security).

The first option would work if he knew how.

You can't change root password without logging in as root before though.
