I am totally new to FreeBSD, and have installed it and Gnome2/X11. Somewhere in the process I have either corrupted or lost my password and user name access. When I try to log into Gnome, either as root or as username, it is a no go. I know that I set up myself as a user, and set a root password when I was installing. What do I do now? Can I restart from the install CD and go back into Sysinstall? I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 on a Macbook Pro, via Parallels Desktop. Thanks very much and sorry for such a stupid predicament.
