Hi John,
Nice to hear you're playing with a Raspberry Pi.
I have some ideas. Do you get a splash screen before it starts booting?
If so, press E to edit the current boot entry. At the end of its
kernel line add the word " single". Then proceed with the bootup. I
thinks that's F10 but it says what to press somewhere on the boot screen.
Once you've booted up you'll be in single user mode with full root
privileges. Set a root password there.
NB. I haven't used f22 yet and don't know if you are even allowed to
login as root. Some distros require you to login as a regular user and
use sudo su to get to root. That would require you to create a new user
account and add that user to one of the special groups (on Ubuntu that
group is adm).
hope that get's you going.
