You installed DES once and not the second time, or vice versa.

WARNING:  You MUST pull the DES distribution from ftp.internat.freebsd.org
or else you are violating US export law!! 

To fix:

1.  type '-s' at the boot prompt.
2.  Type <return> to get a shell when prompted
3.  type 'mount -u /' and 'mount -a' to get back your filesystems
4.  type 'vipw'
5.  Blank out the user's password 
6.  Exit
7.  type 'passwd user' to change user's password
8.  Type 'exit' when done to come up to multiuser mode
9.  Enjoy.
