At the login prompt (or your graphical login program - gdm, kdm etc)
use the username "root" and password that you set when installing Fedora.

Please ignore all those that present horror stories and FUD about root, 
you have to learn somehow and the best way is to mess around as root.

Unlike a normal user, your path with will include /sbin so you won't 
need to prepend root commands with a path e.g. /sbin/ifconfig.

And if you happen to do something like  "rm -rf /", just re-install and 
start-over, I'm sure you'll learn from your mistakes like we all did.
