I just installed fedora core 12 and install excepts a password for root but when trying to login it gives an

'authentication failure"

 

Have tried booting up using 'rescue installed system' going to shell:

shell-4.0# 

run passwd, and change password, then reboot

but cannot login as root have no trouble loggin as user.

 

auy sugestions
