I believe this is intentional. Please see emails with subjects:

F36 Change: Make Rescue Mode Work With Locked Root (System-Wide Change proposal)
F36 Change: Users are administrators by default in the installer GUI.
(Self-Contained Change proposal)

there may be some others. Basically root login is no longer allowed
via PAM and possibly other tools. My understanding is that you need to
login as a user, and then become root.
