[$] Locked root and rescue mode
Wednesday December 22, 2021. 02:01 AM , from LWN.net
Fedora is among the group of Linux distributions that, by default, lock
out the root account such that it does not have a password and cannot be logged into. But, traditionally, 'rescue mode' boots the system into single-user mode, which requires a root password—difficult to provide if it does not exist. A Fedora proposal to remove the need for the password in that case, and just drop into a root shell, does not seem likely to go far in that form, but it would seem to have pointed toward some better solutions for the underlying problem.
