It is a live CD that will tell you what the password is so that you don't have to reset it. .

The tool you need is:

Can I stop a Gentoo "emerge world" to add a feature or use flag I forgot? If so, how much pain am I in for, and what steps would you recommend for safely getting the system back on its feet?
Thanks.

When that is finished, it is also often a good idea to do ... .
That'll re-emerge anything that was built with different flags than what you have now .

That's it !
Couldn't you open another terminal and temporarily change the file's access rights?
From SO :
:w !sudo tee % .
Then I go out and move /tmp/tmpfile to my old file with sudo rights .
In this case, I wrote file with :w /tmp/tmpfile.

To answer your edited question, there's only a finite amount of memory in your machine .
Once your process exits, the allocated memory is returned to the OS for use by other processes (new or existing) .
