I'm not sure it's documented anywhere, but it looks like the default root
password is empty.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/master.passwd?rev=1.25&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=RELENG_4

Once this file is installed onto your new system, install simply runs
"passwd" (and it doesn't ask you for root's "Old Password" because it's
empty), and you enter your new root password.
