It strikes me that announcing in advance "Hey, guys, a number of accounts INCLUDING n SYSOPS have blank passwords and can easily be taken over..", then not fixing it for a while, is a recipe for disaster. It's not that hard to generate a list of users with admin privileges, and presumably neither is it impossible to write a short script to try 800 logins...
But there can not be many sysop or higher accounts with no password (I hope).
Using no password, especially when you are sysop is highly irresponsible and those users should be de-sysoped.
When there are no accounts left that are anything else then normal users then blank password could be enabled again for 2 weeks or so to give those users the time to pick a password.
How can users who have no access anymore to there account regain access Brion?
Make a bugzilla ticket?
