I wanted to mention that I was able to get in with the set root password. There is one external drive that was/is not getting mounted, and so Fedora 30 was not the issue here. The disk containing / also needed repair so that is fine. Thanks again for the help with regard to how to get in and create a root password using the liveCD. To recap, I mounted the / drive inside the LiveCD, and then did a chroot on it and set up password with "passwd root". Btw, is there a way to take out a root password once set? Many thanks again and best wishes, Ranjan _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
