You'd have to disable PAM and passwd, since the new passwd program is
PAMified.
I guess the question is why on earth would you do this? This is such a major
security hole that you might as well just set your computer on the doorstep
and let someone take it home with them.
If you must have no password access, you are the only one using the computer
and it's not connected to any outside network, why not just run in single
user mode?
