To remove password you need to edit password file /etc/passwd and remove password filed x mark. For example
Code:
vi /etc/passwd usr1:x:1020:1019::/home/myproj/:/bin/sh Remove x from above entry so that it will look like as follows: usr1::1020:1019::/home/myproj/:/bin/sh Save file. Now usr1 should be able to login without password. Be careful this kind of setup is like an initiation for hacker/cracker. If I wear you, I will never do anything like this
