Eeks!. I thought linux was better then windows with passwords security. So when your laptop/server/pc is stolen all they have to do is this and gets full access as root with no pass?
Not much different with Windows machines either. If one has physical access to a Windows machine you are only one reboot away with the right tool to reset the local administrator password to blank and having full access to the machine.
Physical security is important for some very valid reasons. Jeffrey
