 what is the default password of toor cause i have forgotton my roots 
 password so any one could help me in recovering ?

There is no default password for the toor account.
It is just an account with another name that has root's UID (0).
You can create one for yourself with any name you want and just
give it a UID of 0.

But, if you have forgotten your root password, you will have to
do a single user boot (boot -s), fsck and remount / and then
set a password for root (or toor or your personal root account).

NOTE:  you will have to give toor a real shell if you want to use it for 
   a login.   You will need to have a root login or be in single user 
   mode for doing that.   Use vipw(8) to do that.

By default the toor account cannot be logged into via password.  Try booting 
into single-user-mode to change your root password.

reboot
at boot prompt type boot -senter
will boot in single user mode
at prompt type mount -a
then if / is mounted read only, perhaps
mount -u -rw /
passwd root
type in new password
CTL-D

Alternately, you can boot from a cd mount and chroot to your os /
passwd root
etc...
