= 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
