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.
