I think I remember reading that there will be no default root account after install of F28 or later. Again, I think I remember the workaround was to use sudo, and then create a root account with useradd. You will have to specify the root directory as /root (man useradd), otherwise I think the default is to create it in /home (/home/root? :-)). Be sure to check the permissions on the /root directory after you create it. The default that used to be created by anaconda was 550.
There *has* to be a root account. By default there is no root password unless you set one during the installation. I think there has been talk of removing that option from the installer. All you have to do is "sudo passwd" to set the root password and then you can directly use the root account again if you want.
