If you are talking about a user account it's no problem, if it is
the root account, that might be tricky.

I remenber Steve saying the Suse removed or hid the interactive
access to grub.

In case you can get into the root account you have to open a
terminal, xterm or the kde console and type:

passwd username

and set up the password for that user.

Please, provide more information
