You can't.  FreeBSD uses a one way hash to encode the passwords.  If you 
  are the administrator you can change the password though:

#passwd user-that-forgot-their-password
New password: <you type in their new password, it won't show up as * or 
anything like that>
New password again: <type in what you typed above>
