I believe that starting with the installed of Fedora Workstation F30 the root account is
created but disabled.  There is no root password.

So, you have to login to the system with the account you've designated as an administrator
and then give it a password.  I think, based on what you've said, that account is pdupre.

So.....

ssh pdupre@whateverhost

then

sudo passwd root
