Having an empty password still results in being prompted for a password and needing to hit enter. If you want to have _no_ password, you can go into /etc/passwd (or /etc/shadow) and delete the second field. Now it won't even ask for a password, it'll just let you (or anyone else) right in. -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
