Well, there's a tool called "John The Ripper", or JTR for short, that can be used to identify weak passwords. However, it requires read access to the password file. If you require going through a program to do what you're trying to do, for ethical reasons, we cannot help.
If you need to recover your system from password lost, you must have physical access to the machine and you can boot off a recovery CD/DVD. Google for "System Rescue linux" or something.
