As far as I know, from my previous Linux experience, you just need a
LiveCD in order to boot the PC, mount the / partition, edit
/etc/passwd or /etc/shadow and change the hash for one that correspond
to one we know. Perhaps you can make it in every UNIX.

This is similar to what Matthew Seaman was mentioning.

I am curious though, might it be possible to boot from something like
Freesbie (or a fixit disc), mount the drive, chroot to the actual
install and run passwd like normal to change the password? Does root on

yep.

FreeBSD ask to verify the old password when trying to change its own?


nope :)
