If you're just trying to use it as a "live" CD (i.e. you're not installing FreeBSD), the root password should be null. Just hit enter if you're prompted for a password.
Well distribution is in the name, what the "D" in FreeBSD stands for, but it's not a distribution in the GNU/Linux sense. It's a package built top to bottom by one group rather than an amalgamation of parts from various groups.
It's actually one of the advantages of FreeBSD, everything is designed to work together. The kernel guys are just down the hall (so to speak) from the userland guys. That and the more liberal license makes FreeBSD really good for people that want to do special applications with their own proprietary code.
