I purchased a computer on ebay with Fedora core.  The Fedora  core boots up, but asks for a user name and password and I can't go any further.  The seller is not helpful.  Is there any way I can get past the user name and password.  This is a gateway computer.  The computer is useless to me as it is.

Interesting that the seller is no willing to help. I would suggest booting from a CD and snooping around the hard drive for any sensitive data worth keeping. After moving anything worth saving to a safe place, I would wipe the drive clean and reinstall the OS.
