If you installed via /stand/sysinstall, you had the opportunity to add a
user account for yourself. After that, you set the root password. Thus,
you should know at least two accounts capable to login: root and the
account you created for yourself.

You forgot to make an account for yourself?
Login as root. Start /stand/sysinstall. Choose Configure. Add an user
account for yourself. Remember to add your account to the wheel group.

You forgot to assign a password to the root account?
Login without password.

You forgot the password assigned to root?
Boot single-user... but that's another story. See FAQ.
