However, you can "reset" the root password by using the single-user mode at boot time (which puts you in the root account automatically) and then changing at that time.

have a look @ http://en.opensuse.org/Recover_Root_Password you will need a install media (boot CD or DVD) for the (open-)SUSE version you want to recover the root password from in fact, RECOVERING is not the right word, here; the only way to recover it is to have it written down somewhere or someone else remembering it (still); otherwise, you are down to RESETTING the root password. boot the system from the install media by choosing RESCUE (type F2 / F3 / F4 / F5 in the boot menu to see which option does that; Linux rescue is a good bet). once finished booting, you have to make your server / workstation's root partition the current root; 1st determine which is the root partition of your server; $> ls -l /dev/sd* will show you all (e-)sata and usb devices and the partitions thereon. some newer motherboard also show ATA disks here; otherwise you will get list of ATA devices with $> ls -l /dev/hd* for other devices like (external) RAID, if you don't know which device it is, start the install (just hit the enter key without typing in Linux rescue) and choose ADVANCED partitioning. this will show you all the available disks & there partition. once you know which partition is the root, follow «CD/DVD Recovery Mode» from above link
