Per default, the username "root" is defined for the system
administrator, and has an _empty_ password. You can add a
username for yourself (see "adduser" command) and define
your own password. Password changes are done using the
"passwd" interactive command; see "man passwd" for details.

You'll find excellent documentation about FreeBSD on the
main web site.

The FreeBSD Handbook:

The FreeBSD FAQ:

Maybe I may also recommend this one for beginners:
