Try running startx and changing the default run-level (not sure how you would do that in Fedora).

Login using username and password and type startx. It will take you to the graphical interface. Fedora and many of the RH based distros boot into command line interface by default and have the run level set to 3. If you want to boot into graphical mode always, you should change the run level to 5 in /etc/inittab file.

not able to edit inittab file

Are you doing it as root? You need administrative privileges to edit the file.

Does Fedora use Gnome? If so, try:
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/inittab
If KDE, try:
Code:
kdesu kwrite /etc/inittab
