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

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...)
