Of course. 

If you want no password, just set it to blank. This is a very poor idea
for anything not behind a heavy firewall, by the way. If you use adduser,
you'll be warned.

Reboot times are stored in wtmp, which can be viewed along with login
times with the last command. Alternatively, it should be trivial to modify
/etc/rc.local (or /usr/local/etc/rc.d) to record the time of each bootup.
Shutdown recording should be simple too.

Hope I'm making sense right now,
