Put yourself in the wheel group, login as yourself and then su to root.
Also, note that this is not so secure. You should have a look at the 
ssh port, which is an encrypting replacement of rlogin/rsh/telnet

man adduser, man rmuser

it should be /usr/local/sbin/httpd; if you can't find it, you can simply 
get the package (eg via your browser or via ftp) and then use pkg_add

Who says that you need a 1000+ pages book to learn something well?
K&R "The C programming language" is 272 pages! ;-)))
Anyway, buy _THE_ book:
E. Nemeth, UNIX System Administration Handbook, Prentice-Hall.
