If you are trying to log in from the GUI (Gnome Display Manager/GDM) there are options that disallow root access from it. Can you log in as a regular user, open up a terminal, and then log in as root with "su -" (no quotes)?

the people over at Gnome ( and fedora) have disabled root login .This is for security reasons .

Use the " su " or " su - " option in the terminal to start what ever program . For example

Code:

su - 

( your root password when asked)

gedit /var/log/boot.log

--- or ---

gedit /etc/fstab
