I was using Fedora 9 with Gnome Desktop environment. I forgot my root password so I tried to recover the root's password by single user login at bootloader. I am able to login now. But some folders on my desktop are missing.
So is there any mean by which I can recover my files on folder?
Which folders are missing?
It may be that, rather than being missing, they're simply not stored where you expected. Some window managers bring in some contents from other folders to show on your desktop. Try find /home/user -iname '*partofname*' to see if you can locate the folder or even a file inside it.
It may also be that, by logging in as single user, that nonessential filesystems were never mounted. See what directories are mounted with df , see what filesystems would usually be mounted with less /etc/fstab , and mount something with mount /path/to/files
