Question 1: If for some reason the cluster password is forgotten is there some way to reset this??
Question 2: If question 1 is yes, since that is what the root password is set after the wizard is completed how does it affect that??
Question 3: If the default web admin password is changed and there are no other web admins on the system is it possible to reset that password??

Q1: if the root password is lost, follow any linux guide on how to recover in this case, basically involves booting the system using a different root file system such as from a different disk/partition/live-recovery cd, there are many guides on how to do this.
Q3: i suppose this should be possible if you have root access on the OS you should be able to, i do not think we have a ready command that does this but looking at the source code you could probably know how.
