Presumably you don't know where you need to read. So you need to somehow search for the right signature. Why is the root password hash even in memory in the first place?

At any rate, there's probably some search pattern to try and locate the relevant address across a fairly large address space, you need to take into account the lack of accuracy as well. Once you found the location then you presumably know the right offset and just read it straight out.
