I think you should boot into single user mode. Interrupt the boot `countdown' displayed on the screen after selecting FreeBSD from the boot manager menu by pressing any key. Type in the following boot command: boot -s The system will boot into single user mode. Check (just to make sure) and mount all UNIX filesystems: fsck -y mount -a -t ufs Then, set the root password once again: passwd Now, type exit to boot into the default multi user mode. Now you should be able to login.
