At the same time login from terminal accepted root password, first I thought that means password wasn't empty, but system even with empty password should print "Password:"..and that time it was nothing absolultey. Empty password behaviour is for no prompt, so what you are seeing is normal, and means that you did indeed have a empty password. Check your logs very carefully over the past few weeks to make sure no one has broken in. Chrishelp
