user without password

Is it possible to create a user account without password?
Is it possible to modify a user account to logon without password?

the second option seems more legitimate.u can set that by running `gdmsetup` and select security tab and enable `allow root to login`.but first option can be achieved by simply pressing enter in most distros and is not recommended.in windows only such a thing is done.

If don't want to give a password to user, fire this on terminal as a root user:

#useradd <user-name>
#passwd -d <user-name>

#passwd -d <user>
works, Thank you.
