Start your computer and wait for grub to show up 2. Locate the entry to boot Fedora, and press 'e' to edit 3. You'll see a line that starts with "kernel /boot/vmlinuz....." 4. Move to the end of that line and append: "linux 1" (without the quotes, a plain 1 is also said to work) 5. Now press 'b' to boot 6. You'll boot in to run level 1. Once you get the sh prompt, edit /etc/passwd file using vi (or any other editor) 7. The first line should be for the user root: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash 8. Remove the 'x' character in the second field. i.e. make it: root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash 9. Save and quit vi 10. Reboot your computer. Your root password will be deleted. Set a new password. Let us know if this worked.. Syam
