That said, by default after the Fedora installation is complete and the system is rebooted, it offers a welcome screen where you should setup at least one regular user account, time&date, etc. You should do that and log in as a regular user. If at any time during regular work the system needs root password, you will be asked to provide it, and you will never actually need to log into X as root. Logging as root is generally considered a Bad Idea, and should be avoided unless you really know what you are doing. The general rule of thumb: if you know what you are doing and still want to log into X as root, you are probably expert enough to find information on how to enable that and modify the system yourself. If you are not expert enough to do that, the wise advice is just don't even try to do it, you are likely to screw something up.
