I solved my own issue.
My main issue was (I think), was using a very long password and multiple characters/uppercase/lower case, etc.
Learnign Linux (Fedora) the hard way but Google send me to the Fedora forum everytime with a good answer.
If anyone gets in my same situation:
-I was using VMware to install Fedora 13.
-made a long username and over 16 character password
-install went great, no issues.
-booted up to the log in screen and could not guess my username password or enter the correct root password
-modified the .vmx file to give me 15secs to get into the BIOS (would not take less than 15secs)
-made a DVD from the .iso I was using that installed the VM for me
-selected the rescue mode
-got to the shell
-entered chroot /mnt/sysimage
-entered the passwd and got a authenticated error
-not really sure what I did next, I think it was entered su -
-did the passwd again
-entered sync
-entered reboot
