Thanks to the following for there valuable replies:

                   Gernot Salzer
                   Santosh Krishnan
                   Christopher L Davi
                   Rick Beebe
                   Dejan Muhamedagic
                   Michael R Kline
                   WHITTAKER Bruce


All of them suggested to
            - create a normal user account giving the password
            - delete the password field from /etc/passwd file
            - resynchronise the database by using the command
               #mkpasswd /etc/passwd


Thanks once again!!
