Formatted & installed FC4: no password


I have just installed FC4 and it just... well, I was about to say its not working, but it is... I just forgot my password... kinda. I remember what I typed and I typed every password I have ever made, but it still won't work! Do I need to spend ANOTHER precious hour and a half re-installing or is there another way to make another account/find my old password? I am trying to log into root and I have no other accounts...
