Updating the /etc/shadow line for root to add a known password hash is
all I usually do and it has worked in the past.

There's a new 4.8.4-301.fc25 kernel that I think should fix this issue
so you can grab that from koji [1] or it'll be going out to
updates-testing probably today and should be stable by the end of the
week.

Also for reference what is the monitor, the type of connector used and
the resolution it runs at?
