Hi I have just taken over the administration of some unix systems. There is a machine, running as a secondary name server on FreeBSD for which no record of the root password has been stored, so I can't log in to the box. If it was a linux machine, I would boot off a floppy with init=/bin/bash and manually change the root password. However, I have never used FreeBSD before. How would I go about getting/changing the root password for this machine.
