So, it is not your iptables.

Before re-installing and with your
'root' password blanked in '/etc/shadow',
you may try checking your,

/etc/sysconfig/authconfig. Shoutld look
like this,

USEDB=no
USEHESIOD=no
USELDAP=no
USENIS=no
USEKERBEROS=no
USELDAPAUTH=no
USEMD5=yes
USESHADOW=yes
USESMBAUTH=no

Do by booting with Fedora CD with 'linux rescue'.

Then,

chroot /mnt/sysimage
cd /etc/sysconfig
vi authconfig

etc.....
