Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked in emergency mode
by LEON71 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EXBX)
Hi
I just installed Fedora 33 from live USB to my portable hard drive. The installation was successful. But when I am trying to login to the fedora I am stuck and getting the below message :
" You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl-xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot," to reboot , "systemctl default " or "exit" to boot into default mode.
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked. Press enter to continue"
What's the solution?
