To the OP of this thread:
Why not
boot a live CD or DVD
Once booted,
su - root
mkdir /fedora
mount /dev/sd ?? /fedora (?? are something like a0 or a1 ...etc ... the
name of your hard drive boot partition)
chroot /fedora
passwd root
root's presumably disabled on the OP's box so rather than change this
setup, the OP should run "visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/maitra" after
"chroot /fedora" (or "systemd-nspawn -D /fedora") to create the
following line in "/etc/sudoers.d/maitra":
maitra ALL=(ALL) ALL
The problem with allowing the user to be effectively root (via sudoers)
is that
ubiquotous browser. I have zero faith in browsers. No, not 0, but
-infinity .
A malefic website can and does user JS to fork out processes that can sudo
whatever they want.
This is why broswers should be set to suid some user other than the
logged-in user,
and having no privileges outside it's own directory. This would be like
a jail.
Many of you already know how to set up such a jail.
