That sucks.
I might be shooting in the dark, but if you check out the FAQ at
http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#AEN1975
it tells you what to do in case you forget your root password.
The procedures there will, I believe, recreate the file, but I'm no guru. At 
least,
you'll be able to get back into the system. Good luck.
