    Thanks,
     
    In FC4 entering root password does work.
     
    However, I tried all methods listed and I do not know the command to get out of the virtual consol. I had to issue the reboot command.

    CTRL-ALT-F2 might be better, since on some computers (apparently
    according to some posts here earlier) CTRL-ALT-F1 turns some
    computers OFF.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
