Boot the system into single user mode. 
Look at the /etc/passwd file to determine your usernames.
Change the passwords for usernames you want to use again.

To boot into single-user mode, edit the boot options in GRUB, and add
'single' to the options on the line with the 'rhgb' option among other
things.

If you are unable to do this, boot using install CD #1 and use 'linux
rescue' to start the system, or use the Fedora Rescue CD.

Good luck.   Erik
