Hi,

I have installed a virtual machine with FreeBsd under Virtualbox,
but I can't use it, because I haven't find the root's password.

Thank you for you help. :)
 
How did you install it? If you installed it from an official installation medium (ISO image or similar), then you have been asked for the root password during installation. If you didn't provide one (I'm not sue if this is even possible), then the root password might be empty, so just pressing Enter when asked for the password might work.

Otherwise, if you either have forgotten the password, or the root account is locked for some reason, you have to boot into single user mode and set a new password. See the FreeBSD Handbook for information about single user mode.
