Oh Yeah! Don't have a password is what Windows is saying. Ofcourse this is just for your safety though. In an article regarding how to create strong passwords, Windows says to leave the password space blank instead of having a password like 'abc123' or 'password' or something else which is easy to crack.
It says these frequently used passwords could be easily cracked by even a novice intruder. Criminals can easily guess a simplistic password, but on computers using Windows XP, an account without a password cannot be accessed remotely by means such as a network or the Internet. (This option is not available for Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Me, or earlier versions) You can choose to use a blank password on your computer account if these criteria are met:
• You only have one computer or you have several computers but you do not need to access information on one computer from another one.
• The computer is physically secure (you trust everyone who has physical access to the computer).
