I did it, and now I need to undo it...

[Jules Gilbert]

I need to reset my root password;  I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and 
golly!, going to single user mode no longer works to change a password 
-- one gets an authentication error;

I have complete control of the box, it's in my lab.  What do I do to 
change the password and bring the machine back to normal use?

If necessary I can grab the password file(s) and run a cracker, though I 
will need instructions as to how to do that exactly.

(And yes, this problem is my own fault...)
