Booting as root in Fedora using Grub

When Grub Screen show up the list of available OS, select fedora and hit ' e '

In the edit window find a line corresponding to loading kernal, in the end of same line add ' 1 ' or ' single '

Now save and run , generally by pressing ' F10 key '.

The Grub will boot you to single user mode which is "root". And the best part is it won't ask for root password

you can use the ' passwd ' command to reset the root password
