ClassicGod, you were right the first time. He might need to 'su' first, and then use the root password which should be the same as the 'admin' password.

Yes and no - according to FreeBSD man page for shutdown, -h just halts the system and -p halts it and cuts off the power. Depending on the hardware the first one may not shutdown the machine completely.
PS. I see in your avatar that you are a Doctor Who fan? ;) I'm building a case for my NAS from black acrylic and am considering putting Pandorica decal on it ;)
Accualy I've tested both commands on my FreeNAS install (Beta 4, 64bit) and -h does not cut off the power but -p does. It's probably dependent on the hardware (AHCI and different S states support etc) and my MSI E350IA-E45 requires -p to shutdown completely. FreeNAS is probably smart enough to use the correct one ;)
