Based on that output, I am not surprised that resetting the password
didn't work. Notice that it's saying permission is denied for
/bin/bash. When you log in as root, are the permissions on /bin/bash
correct? It should be 755:

    [🎩1036 bcotton@fpgm ~ ]$ ls -l /bin/bash
    -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2187664 May 13 08:18 /bin/bash
    [🎩1037 bcotton@fpgm ~ ]$

If not, that's the immediate problem. You can check for other files
with incorrect attributes with the `rpm -Va` command. (See the rpm man
page for more about verification)
