I am jut starting learning Fedura. While going through installation, I am asked for a localhost login and password that I remember I have not entered. I've tried "root" as a login, did not work, so I am stuck, can't get through this. But this is only a part of the problem. I can't type anything for the pasword - it just does not type anyhthing at all, neither of the symbols. Can you please advise what I should do?

In Linux, nothing appears when you type in a password, but rest assured, the field is accepting input.
If you're going through installation, it may be asking you to create a user, not log in as a user. Try entering a new username and password. -
The Linux login traditionally will not show characters when you type the password.
Fedora will require you to enter in at least one username and password. If you cannot remember that username/password combination and you cannot remember the root password, you will need to enter single user mode and use passwd to change it.
Google "fedora single user mode" for more information.

The password is hidden from the user so dont worry.You need to boot the system in single user mode by pressing e in the boot time and then putting 1 at the grub line.After the boot type "passwd" which will change the password for the root user and then type init 6 to reboot and enjoy!!Comment
