Hi, I was updating my laptop to the newest beta, but it failed.
I only managed to see that it was in ~4000/5000 progress, and there was an error from systemd (1/127 codes).
Now in grub I see 42/43 kernels, but both of them are booting into emergency mode with error:
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.

Happy to provide more details if you advise how. And thanks in advance.

what I see. let me know if I should look for something specific
ERROR [rpm] systemd-udev-258.5-2.fc43 erase skipped.
error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-shared-258.5-2.fc43.so no such file or directory

Follow steps 1-9 from here:
Restoring the bootloader using the Live disk

Then run this:

sudo dnf distro-sync \
    --installroot=/mnt \
    --refresh \
    --releasever=44 \
    --allowerasing \
    --skip-broken \
    --setopt=protected_packages=
