1) Take a local copy of kern.flp, mfsroot.flp, fixit.flp 
(f.e. from: 
ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.3-RELEASE/floppies)

2) Make three disks (read README.TXT in directory above)

3) Boot from kernel & mfsroot floppies. (Previously setting your computer to
boot from it, if have this option disabled by default)

4) Choose "Fixit" and insert fixit disk.

5) Mount your root partition using shell prompt (I don't remember exactly
where you can get it... Try to use Alt-F?) Ex.: mount /dev/ad0s3a /mnt

6) Edit your /mnt/etc/ttys.

7) umount /mnt

8) Remove floppy and boot single user...

9) vipw ;-))

Sergey N. Voronkov.
