You can still login at this prompt with your 'root' account and

That's true it is a fairly generic question, however, the OP did state
he'd tried to login with root and failed. Sounds to me like X wasn't
the only thing that is having issues.
Although it could be the password he used. I noticed one time that the
password I was using simply wouldn't work on the initial install of
Fedora no matter how many times I installed it. It did work however
after changing it once I got it installed.
