Huh? On that line that starts with kernel, such as:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 divider=10 clocksource=acpi_pm
add a space than an s:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 divider=10 clocksource=acpi_pm s
Now boot it, read the bottom of the grub menu, it tells you what
letters to type.

Notice that prompt? You're in grub now...

>Sorry looks like I'm lost again..

Follow the first email *exactly* as I said.

Press the power button once quickly and let it reboot. At
the grub timer countdown hit esc. It doesn't matter what kernel
you do this with, just press e to edit where ever you are.
Move the cursor down ONE step to the middle line of the three
that are now showing, it begins with "kernel". Now press e, touch
your space bar once, then touch your "s" key once. Hit Enter. Type
"b". Once you're at the "sh-3.2#" looking thingy majigger, type the
word "passwd" without quotes. Follow the instructions, then reboot.
