So, it is not your iptables.
Before re-installing and with your 'root' password blanked in '/etc/shadow', you may try checking your,
/etc/sysconfig/authconfig. Shoutld look like this,
USEDB=no USEHESIOD=no USELDAP=no USENIS=no USEKERBEROS=no USELDAPAUTH=no USEMD5=yes USESHADOW=yes USESMBAUTH=no
Do by booting with Fedora CD with 'linux rescue'.
Then,
chroot /mnt/sysimage cd /etc/sysconfig vi authconfig
etc.....
