As said in the beginning of my post, this happened on my remote server. So I could not reboot in single mode. This is why I had to find another way to recover my system. Thanks for the tip anyway! ;) Cheers, Ignace M @MrDadi

It is very simple,

1) Reboot FreeBSD and run system in SINGLE MODE
2) put any key, when the system ask about you shell (/bin/sh) put ENTER
3) write in shell: mount -a
4) write in shell: pw mod user root -s /bin/csh
5) write in shell: reboot

OVER :)

I will do this now. ;) However, it seems recommend, in the official <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/security.html#TOOR-ACCOUNT" rel="nofollow">FreeBSD security FAQ</a>, to change toor's default shell, and keep root's shell unchanged. Thank you bapt for this tip. I hadn’t initialise toor’s password. I will do this now. ;)

In case you have this kind of trouble, just login as toor and fix everything.
