-d Deletes password for name and unlocks the
account. The login name is not prompted for pass-
word. It is only applicable to the files and ldap
repositories.
If the login(1) option PASSREQ=YES is configured,
the account is not able to login. PASSREQ=YES is
the delivered default.

Boot from the LiveCD, and open a shell. "mkdir /tmp/tmproot". Then you
should be able to do a "zpool import -R /tmp/tmproot rpool" to
temporarily mount the root pool on /a. (You might have to prefix it
with "pfexec".
Then edit /tmp/tmproot/etc/default/login and change PASSREQ to "NO".
Reboot and you should be okay.
I haven't had to do this procedure in quite a while, so you might need
to tweak some settings.
Also, I certainly hope you don't connect this machine to the network.
