Unsetting the root password

David Runge requested to merge issues/8 into master

Due to changes in the filesystem package [1] the current /etc/passwd does not allow login without an empty root password anymore. This becomes apparent, when switching to another TTY than the one autologin is activated for.

By running passwd -d root we unset the password. In the future this should go to a custom /etc/passwd file.
