root password problem

[Jenkins, Jeremiah]

Are you logging in at the console, or via telnet/ssh?

is it possible you did something that could have corrupted the passwd file
(even though the other users work maybe root's hash got messed up.


last option, boot into single user mode, reset passwd for root and see if a)
it stops working again, b) if it works period

Subject: root password problem


I downloaded Fedora Core 2 4 days ago and installed on two machines. I set 
up Apache, MYSQL, PHP and started playing with them when one of the machines

"forgot" the root password. What I mean is that I cannot login as root even 
tough I am sure I know what the password is. I can login with other I 
accounts I created but not with the root account anymore.
Funny things is that TODAY the other machine had the same problem! I know 
the password for root and I know I am tipying correctly. I checked that caps

lock is not pressed, that the keyboards work...
???

Thanks in advance
