I actually didn't try not using a password with the script. I didn't want to delete that line of the script so I just echoed what the password had been set to instead. I'll test removing the password and typing it when prompted by the script. If this works, I guess it will have to be the work-around for the moment .. though doing this for 350+ accounts that need to be created isn't sounding very enticing.
