I wanted to work with Wine and had downloaded wine installation files under folder 'i386' . First of all I tried to install 'wine-0.9.54-1.i386.rpm' it was not installed due to reason that dependencies were not installed. Then I downloaded all the dependencies as reported in the message. But when I tried to install 'wine-core-0.9.54-1.el.i386.rpm' the password for root was invalidated. I was surprised that how my password for root has changed by itself. Earlier my password was 'redhat' , but now I m unable to login with this password to root. I hope u understand that how serious is my problem. I m new user to Linux. Please help. If u need some more information to solve my problem, please ask for same. Also if u think that some other expert would be of help, please advise. Thanks in anticipation.

the wine rpm package did certainly not change your root password.
perhaps your system was compromised

btw, id recommend to use yum to install wine, its easier than getting all the dependencies by yourself

to recover the password you could boot a livecd, chroot into your current installation and change the password.
