Does adding init=/bin/bash on the boot line still work also? So long as you remount root as rw and mount any other separate filesystems that are required this also allows a password update and bypasses any single user mode password requirements. I know people that prevent these put a password on the grub.conf and also put a password on the bios preventing both livecd boot and/or init=/bin/bash.
