Easy. Write an e-mail to the sysop and tell him to send you the root
password for system maintenance purposes.
It helps if you include cute spelling errors in the e-mail.
Oh, and instead of 'pls' you should write 'plz'.

"pls" works for me and although slang, is closer to English than "plz"
There are some good tools out there to do this, one would be John the
Ripper, this is used by sys admins to see if passwords created by users
are secure .. its really cpu intensive and you have to have access to
the username and encrypted password ... so, that leads me onto the next
question, why do you want to crack to root password ? have you
forgotten it ? in which case you have to boot from cd and enter the
maint shell and run the passwd command .. like some rudely put above
"rtfm" or "rtff" in this case.
