# Linux Root Password
#linux #system-admin
## Fedora
Edit Grub line by pressing `e` in the bootstrap screen. Add following options to the `linux` line.
```
rd.break enforcing=0
```
This will boot the system into root shell. Mount the system root and `chroot` into it.
```
mount -o remount,rw /sysroot/
chroot /sysroot
```
Now use `passwd` to change the root password, or perform other maintenance tasks.
