It sounds like you want to set an empty password for your user. Is that right?

From the useradd(8) man page:
-p, --password PASSWORD
[...] The default is to disable the password.
The way to allow login is to assign a password using passwd.

To allow login by using passwd it is ok, but when i need to use this command. I mean after just useradd or when. Because i added user already and restarted system. I am now using this command but it is setting password. Kindly let me know how i disable the password of created account and while creation of new account using useradd command how i disable the password. Thanks in advance.

@Prashant Your question is unclear. Do you want to set passwd or not?

The question is clear: the OP wants to login and cannot because the system is asking for a password, even though none was set.

Yes G-Man is correct, i just added user with useradd command and when i reboot machine it shows me to enter password for same user.

It sounds like you want to set an empty password for your user. Is that right?
