I recently installed a new fedora system for my business.
never had a problem had a uptime of months until today.
we had a powercut for 2 hours and the UPS failed...
so after the power came back.. servers came up... cept one.
i went to investigate, seemed the root password was changed.
ok so i reset the password with single user boot, restarted worked fine.
just to test i restarted it again, then it seemed the password had been changed.
no other person had access to this server while i was working on it so it cant be anyone else changing it.
tested 4 times same thing everytime.
tl;dr password is changing when i restart wtf?
anyone know how to fix?
(using fedora 8)
