The steps described in the How to reset the root password in Rescue Mode section of the How to Reset the root Password doc don't work on F41 anymore. The new password is not accepted.

If, however, I temporarily set SELinux to permissive mode, as an additional step after step 8, by adding the kernel argument enforcing=0 to the boot entry, then the relabeling of the SELinux contexts takes place.

If this workaround is actually the new feature, I suggest updating the HowTo accordingly.

Remark: I have performed the tests for a wheel user, and not for the root user, which is disabled by default.

The new password is not accepted. If, however, I temporarily set SELinux to permissive mode, as an additional step after step 8, by adding the kernel argument `enforcing=0` to the boot entry, then the relabeling of the SELinux contexts takes place.
