Well, you could wait until a quiet moment (hopefully no disk writes
happening), cross your fingers and then hit the reset key. When the
Boot:
prompt comes up, type in "-s" to boot into single user mode, then
mount -u /
passwd
to change the root password.

FreeBSD is pretty much a standard BSD UNIX system. There should be quite
a few places offering UNIX training where you are; otherwise it means
picking up a book on UNIX and working thru' it - there's one written
by one of the regulars here, Greg Lehey, that is quite popular (can't
quite remember the title, sorry)
If you're already familiar with UNIX, you can always ask your
questions on the list.
Cheers.
