You should be able to login as root and press enter instead of a password. Then give root a password as soon as possible, write it down safely, and create a user for yourself so you don't have to log in as root again. But first, sort out a few of your mysteries here: http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/newuser/newuser.html (a bit easy for you, but it has the what you want too) http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html (an entry point to resources available for new users) Come back and ask if you get stuck or can't find something. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
