Recover root password godaddy dedicated server

[ward]

Hey there,

I've got a new dedicated server Fedora Core 8. The root password and the main user password are supposed to be the same, but they're not. I can ssh in using the main user, but if I su root and enter the password, it says it's invalid. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ward

You can change it from within your GoDaddy logon. The account management page has a link for changing the password on your box.

Can you sudo?

Thanks for the tips. Tried everything, but nothing is working. I'm thinking it's got to be a configuration issue when they set up the server. It's only a week old.

sudo gives "wrong password" error?
