There is no default password for the toor account.
It is just an account with another name that has root's UID (0).
You can create one for yourself with any name you want and just
give it a UID of 0.
But, if you have forgotten your root password, you will have to
do a single user boot (boot -s), fsck and remount / and then
set a password for root (or toor or your personal root account).
NOTE: you will have to give toor a real shell if you want to use it for
a login. You will need to have a root login or be in single user
mode for doing that. Use vipw(8) to do that.
