Yes. If you absolutely must do it. I'm sure /usr/bin/passwd has some
facility to do it but you can also "vi /etc/shadow" and simply delete
the password, leaving :: (ie zero characters in the password field) instead.
Don't do it unless you absolutely have to, mind you.

-- if it ain't broke, add features 'till it is. (or:)
while (! broken) { features ++ ; broken = isBroken(features) }
