I solved my own issue. My main issue was (I think), was using a very long password and multiple characters/uppercase/lower case, etc. Learnign Linux (Fedora) the hard way but Google send me to the Fedora forum everytime with a good answer. If anyone gets in my same situation: -I was using VMware to install Fedora 13. -made a long username and over 16 character password -install went great, no issues. -booted up to the log in screen and could not guess my username password or enter the correct root password -modified the .vmx file to give me 15secs to get into the BIOS (would not take less than 15secs) -made a DVD from the .iso I was using that installed the VM for me -selected the rescue mode -got to the shell -entered chroot /mnt/sysimage -entered the passwd and got a authenticated error -not really sure what I did next, I think it was entered su - -did the passwd again -entered sync -entered reboot
