Login as root, if you set a password in the configuration utility use 
that password (otherwise it's unset), create an account for yourself 
with /usr/sbin/adduser, get rid of the toor account in the password 
file with vipw.  Have fun!

some good advice: type
        man passwd
        man vipw
        man adduser
        man boot
       use /stand/sysinstall for adding s/w packages and such
read the docs on www.freebsd.org and get a  good UNIX admin book!

good luck!
