I recently installed F40 from DVD. F40 and I are having a difference of opinion regarding what password I gave the initial user. F40 is winning. I find it hard to believe I typed in the same wrong password twice, but it's F40's opinion that counts. I try to login: click on the user and type in my password. F40 just goes back to the select a user screen. There is only one user.
My usual strategy is to boot a live disk and to edit the passwd and shadow files directly. It did not work. Now F40 no longer even gives me a chance to type in a password. It just blinks at me and goes right back to the select a user screen. What is going on? How do I fix it? I would much prefer not to reinstall. Even if I have to reinstall, I would like to know what is going on.
