Hi,
from the loader prompt, boot FreeBSD in single-user mode using boot
-s, then do passwd root.

Actually, while that used to be the case, mount -a nowadays will
remount a filesystem with the flags specified in /etc/fstab.

You should probably install 5.3-RELEASE if at all possible, or
4.11-RELEASE (though 6.x is soon to be the STABLE branch). 5.2 is no
longer supported, and it wasn't a production release. 5.3

I don't get this... I've tried editing /etc/master.passwd, but since the
permissions are 0600 afaik there's no way for me to change it.

I think the problem you are having comes because you must boot your machine in
single-user mode to make this work.
Then:
# mount -u /
# mount /usr
# passed root
You shall then be prompted as follows;
Enter new password: enter password
Enter new password again: enter password
#^D
Sorry... typo
# mount -u /
# mount /usr
# passwd root

Other than hacking the password file, no.
At least, I hope not -- that would be a big security hole.

I was asked to help out (remotly) with Mac OS X.
As I asked for the root passwd, the user (former Win, complete newbie with
Mac, very basic computer user) told that he didn´t know and that he had
never asigned any password (user or root) at all.
