I don't know what you're doing wrong.

I just installed F30 Workstation from the LiveISO image.  The install process didn't ask
to create a root or user account.  This is the new expected behavior.

I then rebooted and was prompted to create my user and I did so.

I then opened a terminal session and....

[egreshko@localhost ~]$ whoami
egreshko

[egreshko@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
su: Authentication failure

[egreshko@localhost ~]$ sudo passwd root

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

[sudo] password for egreshko:
Changing password for user root.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

[egreshko@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
root@localhost:~
root@localhost ~]# exit
logout

[egreshko@localhost ~]$ exit
exit


All done and works as expected.
