Default Re: user 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.

Thumbs up Re: user without password

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>
