    I am attempting to configure a package that is instructing me to
    assign a password to the user account of a different package. I am
    new to Linux, so I am a little afraid as to what affect this might
    have on my system.

    When I look at the /etc/shadow file, the password field is currently
    an exclamation point (:!:). I understand that an asterisk (:*:) would
    mean that the account is disabled, but I don't what the exclamation means?

    If I assign a password to this account, and it breaks the other
    package, how can I change it back to whatever the :!: is?

    Thank you,
    J.Scott
