Not easily. :-/

You need to have a netwinder image installed on a TFTP/NFS server, and
boot from it.  Then you can mount your local disk (/dev/hda[1-4]), and
modify /etc/passwd so that "root"'s line reads:

    root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

The Netwinder boot image can be gotten from the potato boot-disk
archive, methinks.
