The initial login is "root" with no password (unless you entered a
password sometime during the installation process). FreeBSD (and UNIX
in general) has quite a steep learning-curve, I suggest you have a
read thru' the Handbook at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html
Welcome! It's a difficult but rewarding world you've come into.
Cheers.
