I've written abou this before, but nixCraft has a nice post on how to reset your root password if you forget it, using the new FreeBSD boot screen. Of course, if you done the tweak I point out here, to disable single user boot, you are, I think, pretty screwed. I believe I've read somewhere you can use a partition editor to get or reset the password, maybe by hand tweaking /etc/passwd, but don't hold my feet to the fire for that!
