In case of emergency, you can recover your root password by following these steps: (mostly for Fedora-based Linux systems)

1. Power on the machine/reboot if necessary
2. On the boot menu, select the OS you preferred and press `e` on you keyboard
3. Select the image you would like to boot, and press `e` again as soon as you get to the next screen
4. Insert a space and the number one `1`. After that press ENTER and `b` and ENTER again
5. You have now your system booted in a single user mode without entering a password
6. Type on the shell ‘passwd’ and enter your new password
