When you boot your Dolch you should be given the option to boot either single or multi-user. Booting into single user will give you a shell prompt at which point you are 'root'. Mount the file system as Al advises and you can then reset the root password. If for some reason you can't boot into single user mode then you try booting a version of the FreeBSD CD ROM into 'repair mode' and then mount the Dolch's hard drive to reset the password. Old versions of FreeBSD are available at: http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ISO-IM= AGES/ You should really question why you need to get into the existing FreeBSD installation of the Dolch. It only makes sense if you want to recover files.
