THANKS FOR THE CAPS.

What happens when you try them? Just get thrown back to terminal?

Can you boot the machine into single user mode and get a shell (not off
the rescue CD, using the 'single' option)...

Don't set blank passwords. A user with no password generally can't log in.

The other possibility is an expired password, which you could reset with
chage.
