No password for Ubuntu account

| How do I set up an account with a null password (i.e. doesn't require
blanks to be entered) in Ubuntu?
I have managed to set up a proper root account (with password) and my
pam.d file includes a line:-
password required pam_unix.so nullok obscure min=0 max=8 md5

Correction! that should read the common-password file, not the pam.d file.
Sorry,

sudo passwd useraccount -d
All this does is remove the encrypted password from /etc/shadow which
to my understanding should allow a user to login with no password. I have
done this in Solaris where it worked but so far it's a no go in Ubuntu.
Anyone know why?
