The first won't work in some circumstances, like if everyone's
forgotten the root password to the box.  In that case, you pretty
much have to boot to a rescue CD, chroot to where / was, and then
do passwd.  Or reboot with "init=/bin/sh" in the kernel parameters
and mount / -o remount,rw , then do passwd.  All of this is pretty
easy and doesn't require a consultant.
