I don't know what you're doing wrong. I just installed F30 Workstation from the LiveISO image. The install process didn't ask to create a root or user account. This is the new expected behavior. I then rebooted and was prompted to create my user and I did so. I then opened a terminal session and.... [egreshko@localhost ~]$ whoami egreshko [egreshko@localhost ~]$ su - Password: su: Authentication failure [egreshko@localhost ~]$ sudo passwd root We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility. [sudo] password for egreshko: Changing password for user root. New password: BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters Retype new password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. [egreshko@localhost ~]$ su - Password: root@localhost:~ root@localhost ~]# exit logout [egreshko@localhost ~]$ exit exit All done and works as expected.
