Did you create a user account?
If not, the password you made belongs to the "root" account.
If you failed to create the password properly, then the root account
might still have a blank password (i.e., just hit return).
See the FreeBSD Handbook description of
"The Superuser Account"
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/users-superuser.html>
and
"Modifying Accounts"
