Many thanks to all who responded, it's a lot easier to boot to single
user mode.
Thanks!

Hi all,
A co-worker of mine needs to go to another office of our employer
next week to get some data off of a Free BSD system. We don't know
the hardware so that complicates it a bit. The current staff have no
idea what the root password is, apparently the admin for the system is
no longer employed there, and he was the sole tech person. My
co-worker be breaking in to the system, resetting the password and
getting some data off of it. What I'm looking for is any tips that
folks may have about tools to take, etc.
We do have physical access to the box, and it's on the network. I
hope that it's as simple as booting Knoppix to edit /etc/shadow and
go, but it's been so long since I messed with any BSD flavors that I
don't know.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
