Adding to the response. Take a look at the step-by-step instructions by @S Mahapatra in the link that Sonu provided.

this link provide details on how to reset password for other users, not for root user. I want to reset password for "root" user.

Login to the docker instance as root with default password as "hadoop"
ssh root@127.0.0.1 -p 2222
.
The you can use "passwd" command to reset the password.
# passwd

Earlier, I have changed the default password "hadoop" to other password and forgot the changed one. Now,I want to reset the new password.
I tired with this default password "hadoop", but no luck.

At the Docker Level:
Did you try the following:
$PASS='YOUR_NEW_PASSSWORD' echo -e "$PASS\n$PASS" | sudo docker exec -i <container-id-or-name> passwd
Or may be docker command option "RUN echo newtestpassword | passwd root" in a Dockerfile
In single user mode you should be able to do so. Can you please try this: https://www.liberiangeek.net/2014/09/reset-forgotten-root-password-centos-7-servers/

To execute these commands, I have to get onto terminal ,to get on to terminal i have to use root or super other user credentials, but i have only root user and i am trying to reset the password for the same. Please let me know if I am missing anything here or is there any other way to acheive the same.
