Wipe out the password field in /etc/shadow.
It's the second field...
You probably wiped the x in /etc/passwd, which is bad, and will cause PAM
to disable the account.
It could also be the PAM is told not to allow empty passwords, with is an
option I enabled.
I think I don't need to tell you that accounts without a passwd are a VERY
BAD THING..
