Hi, I am a new subscriber but an old user, especially on linux. I have some problem to boot my box because I changed some files by a live cd. I lost my root password so tried some old method to change it. I tried to boot in single mode but it doesn't worked. After that I change the passwd file removing the x character ... but this has broken my box.
Which version of Fedora are you using ?
I suppose single command is not working because Fedora is using systemd. Try to set 'rd.break' instead of single.
Follow this: http://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/reset-forgotten-root-password-rhel-centos-7...
Follow the steps, specially autorelabel part, if your Fedora box has SElinux enabled this step is necessary.
I have rid of the following errors on the log: Nov 3 17:40:06 localhost dbus-daemon: Could not get password database information for UID of current process: User "???" unknown or no memory to allocate password entry Nov 3 17:40:06 localhost dbus-daemon: Unknown username "root" in message bus configuration file
Anyone know how to fix it ? Oh the last thing, my bot does not boot property, I mean it stop at Network manager startup and it does not give me the login prompt on gdm or console.
Thank you.
