Usually you do:

lppasswd -a -g sys root

and add root to the system... the user doesn't
have to be root.. but I like my boxes to be consistent
and prior, root would work against /etc/passwd for cups.

Try just doing:

lppasswd -g sys root

and see if you can guess the password you used
and reset if you so choose.

You might be able to give another user permission.
Might require a change to your cupsd.conf (not sure).
