Look at:

http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#FORGOT-ROOT-PW

This will let you change the password for root... if you have
just forgotten a user password (but you know the root password) you can
'su' in as root, and then type:

>passwd <username>

with <username> replaced with the forgetten password user...
