Explain to me like a 5 year old.

You can do the following to access root user:

Code: Select all

sudo su -

If you want to set a root password, you can do it after that step by doing:

Code: Select all

passwd

Actually, it is even easier than that.

The Fedora documentation says a root password MUST be created during installation so I was about to re-install, but then I decided to try a hunch. I entered no password, pressed enter, and it worked. The command line now says [root@MAIN ~]#. I then created a password using the passwd command.

True. Should be good to go now.
