State-Changed-Why:  
This isn't really what the PR database is for.  What you need to do 
is send e-mail to questions@freebsd.org, explaining what version 
of FreeBSD you are running. 

However, I can tell you that if you're running 3.2-RELEASE or later, 
you can press spacebar at the pre-boot countdown, which will take you 
to a prompt at which you can type ``boot -s'' without the quotes and 
press enter. This will drop you into single-user mode.  

Once in single-user mode, you can do ``mount -a'', again without the  
quotes, and then change root's password with the command ``passwd''. 

If that doesn't help you, see my first paragraph. :-)
