= Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked in emergency mode (dracut emergency shell)
 
== Reason

This is a known problem. It happens Fedora releases 28 and newer, which don’t require password for root account during 
installation https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReduceInitialSetupRedundancy#Root_Account[Root Account] and use 
first user added as `administrator/superuser`. In this case root account is locked, and if `/home` is inaccessible – then 
the system can’t use superuser/administrator account either.

== What to Do?

If you find yourself in this situation and you can’t resolve problem with `/home` mounting from Live disk/USB, 
and you need access to emergency mode, the solution is simple.

. Boot into Live disk/usb and chroot into your Fedora installations as documented in this https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bootloading-with-grub2/#restoring-bootloader-using-live-disk[Fedora Quick-docs Article]
- following steps depends of your File System `LVM/BTRF/LUKS`.

. Unlock root account by supplying password for it:
+
----
passwd root
----

. Exit chroot environment with [Ctrl-d] or
+
----
exit
----

. Reboot your computer with GUI or with
+
----
systemctl reboot
----
