Help! My root user got deleted by Webmin

I just got a RH Linux 7.1 dedicated server and played with it and got my root user deleted.

I used Opera 7 on Win 2K. After I deleted a normal user in Webmin, the users list still showed the user I just deleted. So, I clicked on the user again and this time the form showed all fields blanked. I clicked on deleted. Back to the users listing, clicked refresh and the user was still there. Repeated a few times to no avail so I gave up and logged out.

After that I could not login Webmin as root. SSH to server and tried to su but got error saying there is no user root exist. Checked /etc/passwd and root is indeed gone.

I don't have any superuser on the server. Any hope for me? Please help advise.

Thanks
