After a three successful upgrades to F30 from F29 under my belt, a cocky me has been floored. Everything went through fine (or so it seemed) using dnf upgrade --releasever 30 but I ended with, upon reboot:

        You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or "exit" to boot into default mode.
        Give root password for maintenance.
        (or press Control-D to continue):

One problem is that I do not have a root password. I have actually gone in using a livecd and the devices (1 ext4 and 2 xfs) appear to be clean.

Using the live boot, you can chroot to the installed system and set the
root password.

Sorry but exactly how does one do this? I have no experience here with this.

In a terminal window, run "sudo -i". Do "ls /mnt" to make sure there's nothing there. (I don't remember if the live boot uses that by default.) Assuming that /dev/sda2 is your root partition (replace with the real device), run "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt". Then run "chroot /mnt" and "passwd root". Then "exit", "umount /mnt", and reboot the system.
