Core 3 - No root password


I have recently installed Fedora Core 3, and went through the entire setup process, but I cannot log in as root. I never had to set up a root password during the install, and now I don't know how to log in as root. I have tried using the password I set up for my normal user, but it does not work. I have also tried using the full name I entered, the username of my other account, the word "root" and the word "fedora". I need to know what the default password is, or a least a way to change it. Can anyone help me?
