hi all,


How can i go about recovering the root (or user) password for a freeBSD box? 
is there like a single user mode like in linux?

(i feel so stupid for having logged in this morning then logging out, and 5 
minutes later forgetting the damn password!)

any help appreciated!


thanks to all,
oscar
