When I try it on my Fedora 33 system, after changing “rhgb quiet” with “rd.break enforcing =0” and pressing Ctrl-x to boot into single-user mode, I receive a request for the root password OR Ctrl-D to continue.

Clearly, I don’t have the root password, and the latter choice (Ctrl-D) just loads the system as normal. Any suggestions? Thank you once again for your article. Best regards, Derek

Will not accept the root or user password. Have to recover by resetting the root password. Any ideas?

Does this work if the disk is LUKS encrypted? Would you need to run vgchange -a to get access to it?
