Modify kernel arguments. You want to add 'single' to the end of the
arguments list.

This list is for development discussion. For help and support you
should
try fedoraforum.org <http://fedoraforum.org> or #fedora on
irc.freenode.net <http://irc.freenode.net> . That being said,
from the grub screen, edit your default boot settings and add the word
'single' (without quotes) to the end of the line mentioning
'vmlinuz' .
When you boot, you will get a text-only shell with root privileges.
