log in as root and type passwd and it will prompt you for a new password.
As far as deleting users I am not sure of an automated program in RedHat 6.2
to do that.  You would have to edit the /etc/passwd and the /etc/shadow (if
there is one) files and remove the users manually.  someone correct me if
I'm wrong.
