I wanted to install fedora 25 after my defeat to have an encrypted raid

with all possible log files as explain in systemd, but up to now nobody
cares...)

Install of f25 was (almost) easy *but* I am unable to login! I created a
user with a password but when I want to login system claims that the
password is incorrect. OK maybe I made a mistake, so I try to login as
root from the console : password is incorrect too!

I try to rescue the system: it takes ages to accept the passphrase for
encrypted /home (why does the recue need to mount /home?????) After
that, I am unable to set a new root password: if I ask "chpasswd" the
answer is: "missing new password on line 1"  (of course I can see my new
password... but "missing new password..."

If I ask passwd, I have 1 second to type the password before falling
back to prompt... So I can't type anything!

WHAT A MESS!

Firstly, its NOT chpasswd but root@localhost # password     and / or  root@localhost # passwd {USERNAME}

Secondly, /home has possible USER SPECIFIC pam.d/ sshd/ gnupg/ and other assorted configs that can be VERY relevant for a rescue system.
