Hello,
I made a fresh install. But for some reasons, I gave a password, and this password is not recognize! How can I reset the password? It is the first boot, fedora asked a first user.
If you can boot from an install disc it should allow you to set user and root passwords after mounting and chrooting.
OK, I boot on the install key, and then? Mount the / partition and chroot / ? or I guess that I can edit /etc/passwd ?
If you have already set a root password then you should be able to boot to single user with the root login and then use that to set the user pass. I know that *used* to work and hopefully it has not been blocked out in the current versions.
