I'm not exactly sure, but putting the installation CD of RHEL and looking for options like : repair, single user mode, or something similar may help.
Edit : actually, see those links - No1 and No2 and see if you can fix it this way.

As far as i remember you have to boot from CD and chose rescue mode (Single user mode will probably ask you for a root password). You will be asked if you want to have your real system to be mounted under directory (i think it is /mnt/sys or something like that).
Then you can edit shadow file manualy or chroot to your real system and change root password. Regards, -Oktawik.
