I would like a userid to allow logging into a box without a password. I am not sure how to accomplish this as changing the password to nothing is not allowed. Thanks

On linux, for example, if you changed /etc/shadow in the following way you would accomplish what you want.
Change this:
user:$1$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:14650:0:99999:7:::
To:
user::14650:0:99999:7:::
For a better answer however, I would recommend looking into ssh keys.
