hi,
please be more specific when asking a question. Read
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd-questions/
about how to ask question on this list.
as a second note, read the User Account Management documentation
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/users.html).

it's a very bad idea to use telnet for obvious security reasons. Use
ssh. Please note that toor and root both have a password of their own
and you'll have to be in their group in order to su.
