This guide outlines the steps for recovering a system password using a console connection. First, reboot the system, ensuring not to hit the spacebar at the initial prompt. Look for "Loading ./boot/defaults/loader.conf" before pressing the spacebar. Enter command 'loader> watchdog.disable' followed by 'loader> boot -s' to access single-user mode. When prompted, enter recovery and then 'edit' to set the root password in plain text. Finally, commit the change, exit configuration mode, and reboot the system to complete the process.
