I am trying to leave a Fedora environment and am having problems with the root and user password. I did a 13.2 install from the DVD, leaving the mark highlighted that indicated that the user and root password would be the same (I think).
I am not aware of such a tickbox - you are first asked to enter your user details + password, on the next screen you're asked to providethe root password.
The tick box exists. The current default, during install, is to use the same password for root and first user, unless you change the tick mark.
When I tried to su to root, it said the password was invalid. When I logged of, it also said that the user password was now invalid.
The latter doesn't sound right - there is no password validation when you log off.
He probably means that he logged-off and tried to log-in again, and could not,

Thanks:-) I thought the community would have given me credit enough to have logged out first. I did the install again, this time with a longer passwords, and there were no problems. I may try again with a short password, just to see if it was me or SUSE ignored the short one.
