From previous experience when I was using Fedora in a VM under windows, and I needed the "root" account, Fedora no longer creates the root account at installation and you have to go through a series of steps to actually create it, which I was given by a person on this list, but unfortunately I don't have those steps anymore having created my system from scratch as a result of hardware upgrades and switching out of raid. It sounds to me like the op is needing that root account but doesn't have it, so getting the steps to create it may resolve his issue?
As I mentioned in an earlier reply, the root account *always* exists. By default, it doesn't have a password, so you can only use "sudo" or an ssh key to login. If you want to be able to login directly as root, you have to set the password.
