Solaris 10, account without password

I want to be able to make user account without having the user have to enter a password in Solaris 10.
Before (solaris 2.6) we did this by modifying "/etc/shadow". By leaving the second field empty it was possible to indicate that there is no password needed for this login.
The manual (man shadow) in S10 shows the same . But it keeps asking for a password.
Does anyone know if it is still possible and how?

I think you misunderstood the first response to your question.
When prompted for a username, type root and hit <enter>.
When prompted for a password, just hit <enter>+
(no password)
Of course, you could just start all over,
reinstall the OS,
and supply a root password during that process of reinstalling.
Going through it all again would be good practice, a learning experience.

    You can't if you have iOS 7.  Reset your password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617 or contact the Apple account security team for your country for assistance: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

  • Multiple accounts without passwords

    Are you able to switch between accounts without entering a user password? Automatic login is enabled for both users in account settings. However, passwords are required for both users. In security, automatic login is not disabled. Thanks

    {quote} Automatic login is enabled for both users in account settings{quote}
    I'm not sure how this is possible. The login options can only choose one "Automatic Login" user.
    I also don't understand your header and the text. Header says multiple accounts without passwords, but text says passwords are required for both users.

  • Hi ! I got an iPhone 5 from someone who I don't know the real owner. Then I wanna change iCloud on it, but I don't know the password of owner. How can I log out that iCloud account without password ? Please help me, thank you

    Thank you, please help me !

    How can I log out that iCloud account without password ?
    You can't.
    Return the phone to whoever you bought it from and get a refund. Without the previous owners password you will not be able to enter your own iCloud acount, and when you update the phone, you won't be able to re-activate it as it will be locked to the previous owners account.
    You should've checked the phone was not locked to someone else's iCloud account BEFORE buying it.

  • Can I delete a excisting iCloud account without password

    I bought this iphone from a friend and their signed into their iCloud, is there any way I can deleted their iCloud account cause they don't know their password

    Hi Raaach,
    Sorry, but there is no way to get around the Activation Lock without signing off the iCloud account that is signed onto the device. Have the person who sold you the device go to Manage your Apple ID and answer their security questions so they can reset their password:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    If they can't remember their Security Question answers, they can contact iTunes Support to have them reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699?viewlocale=en_US
    Once they know their Apple ID/iCloud password, they can either delete the iCloud account from the device directly, or they can follow this link to remove the device from their iCloud account remotely:

    Best of luck,

    You cannot delete the account of the previous owner without the password. Please contact your seller in order to get a refund or if you have the contact data of the previous owner then try to contact him to get his password. Unfortunately, there will be no other solution to get your phone properly working again.

    You don't. If it's your account, you can reset the password at https://iforgot.apple.com
    If it's locked with someone else's account, the owner of the account will have to release the lock.

  • I cannot open account without password

    The box where I could change to deactivate password is grey

    Hmm, it sounds like you need to reset your admin password.
    1. Shut your computer down
    2. Boot computer up while holding down Command and R on your keyboard.
    3. You will be brought to a language selection screen, here select your desired language and continue by clicking on the arrow that appears in the right hand corner of the screen.
    4. You will be looking at the OS X Utilties menu. From here click on "Utilities", at the top of the screen along the menu bar. From the drop down menu select "Terminal".
    5. With the Terminal window opened up type: resetpassword and press the Return key on your keyboard, this is going to open up a secondary window.
    6. Within that secondary window select "Macintosh HD". With that selected choose the user account that you wish to change the password for.
    7. Create your new password and click the "Save" button.
    8. Restart the computer and log in to your user account using the new password you have created. You will be prompted at login to unlock your Keychain or create a new one. Go ahead and create a new Keychain and you will be good to go.

  • How do I delete an Apple iCloud account from my iPhone without password, security questions, or email?

    For some reason, an old iD is stuck on my phone. My iPhone 4s is nearly filled with documents and data, to the point where I cannot take pictures, and I can't reset it without using this old iD. I don't know why this is now popping up instead of the one I am registered with. I gained access to the old email the iD is under, but none of the iTunes emails are coming in so I assume it is set up under a different email. For the security question of birthdays, I tried every household member's birthday, and none worked. I have tried the password we used on that account when it was active, along with every other possiblility. I don't know what to do anymore and I have very limited use of my phone if I don't get this sorted out and deleted from my phone.
    Thank you for any help!

    Not without password.

    you can´t delete an icloud account without using the password.
    if you can confirm that your iphone is not locked to icloud device activation with this AppleID your are not aware and you have no access for - you can attempt to "erase all settings and content" on your iphone, to remove the icloud account from your iphone. all your data will be erased and iphone is set to factory settings

    How do I remove an iCloud account without using password?

    There is no way if Find my iPhone is turned on. You must know the Apple ID and password. This is Activation Lock, an antitheft feature of iOS 7. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

  • How to delete someone else's iCloud account on your iPhone without password?

    I purchased my old iPhone 4 off a friend when I lost my phone at the time. All of my music and photos on that phone were under her iCloud account.
    Now that I have just got a new iPhone 6, when I backed up all of my photos, music etc. onto iTunes and synced up my new phone, it transferred her iCloud account to my new phone. She does not remember her password, and it will not let me delete this account without the password. I have spent hours searching the internet for a solution but have had no luck. Surely someone else has had this happen to them in the past.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Hello megneth,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to get an iCloud account signed out of your iPhone, you will need to have the previous owner sign out with their Apple ID login information.  If they do not remember their Apple ID password, then they can reset it by following the directions in the article below.

    Take care,
