The root password that > passwd had just excepted no longer works. Did you make your user an admin/system user account? You'd be in the wheel group, if you did. If so, you ought to be able to change the root password from your own login. $ sudo su - Enter your password as prompted, then you should get a root login. Then you should be able to issue the passwd command as the root user. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
