You cannot "recover" it, you will have to set a new one. Boot into the sigle user mode, type "passwd" and set a new password. If GRUB is protected by a password, you will need it, too. If you do not know it, you will have to boot from an extern medium (CD, USB, ...), mount the hard drive with the root file system and edit /etc/shadow. There you can replace the crypted password for root with nothing, effectivly allowing the root to login without password. If you can boot from a fedora rescue disk, you can mount the system in rescue mode, chroot into /mnt/sysimage and use passwd to change root's password. -- best wishes Adalbert She won' go Warp 7, Cap'n!
