From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/8.51 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Description of problem: I am new to Linux. I installed Fedora FC4 as Desk computer. The install ran fine and I could use the computer with the Gnome desktop I ran redhat update and updated the kernal and Extras. At some point the Root password would no longer be accepted. Can I reset the Root password? I am unable to get in Admin mode as the password doesn't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel-2.6.14.1.1644_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to set Time/Date When it asks for password, the correct password in the correct case doesn't work. 2.Also using SU command in Terminal mode I get the same results. 3. Actual Results: Password not accepted Expected Results: Password accepted Additional info: I don't mind reloading FC4 if that is the only way, but it looks like the password was changed.
Hi, Bugzilla isn't the best place to ask these types of questions. the Fedora-list mailing list is more appropriate. Also this link may be useful for you: http://www.fedorafaq.org/basics/#resetroot
