Nope.  You can only reset the root password from the acctual machine.  I'm 
sure there is some l33t hacker way to do it buy I have not heard of 
anything.  If you are really paranoid my Abit KT7-A MB has an option to 
password protect the bios and the startup of the computer for even more 
added protection.
