After a three successful upgrades to F30 from F29 under my belt, a cocky me has been floored. Everything went through fine (or so it seemed) using dnf upgrade --releasever 30 but I ended with, upon reboot:

You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or "exit" to boot into default mode.
       Give root password for maintenance.

One problem is that I do not have a root password. I have actually gone in using a livecd and the devices (1 ext4 and 2 xfs) appear to be clean.

Using the live boot, you can chroot to the installed system and set the root password.

Also missing from this report is the actual reason for getting dropped into emergency mode.

Emergency mode is not the issue here. The real issue is what caused the emergency mode. It's unlikely that anyone will be able to help you until you determine, from boot messages, or whatnot, the reason the system boot fails.
