When you boot into the Fedora14 DVD, is that a live Linux DVD? If so, you can edit the /etc/shadow file to remove your password. You can then reboot to Fedora14 and login without a password. Naturally you will want to immediately change your password.
The 3 version of Fedora are probably 3 different kernels. Or perhaps a kernel plus boot options. You shouldn't have to delete them. -- Allen Brown http://brown.armoredpenguin.com/~abrown/ If white wine goes with fish, do white grapes go with sushi? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harald Sundt" <[email protected]> To: "Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 9:45:26 PM Subject: [Eug-lug] I upgraded to Fedora 14 - now my password doesn't work Hey, I gave up trying to update my Linux 12 and downloaded a Fedora 14 DVD from the official site. I burned this to disc and the Install seemed to be flawless. I chose upgrade an old system and made dinner. BUT, on rebooting from new system, I get a screen that has my name... but my password is unrecognized. Now I have an old Windows XP on another partition on my laptop... I have hit escape and dropped into the system choice menu, so my laptop still can be used. BUT I see 3 old versions of Fedora 12 as well as 14 SO How can I make 14 let me in? and when I can get into 14, I will have to figure out how to delete 2 of the 3 Fedora 12 cores.
