As a test with K5.4.2,  I tried using kpasswd and giving just a
return when it asks for the new password.   The password is not
changed but a message is displayed saying otherwise.

{GRS:67} /krb5.4.2/bin/kpasswd
Old password for ramus@NERSC.GOV: 

Enter new password:                        <----- Just hit CR here
Re-enter new password for verification:    <----- Just hit CR here
A null password is not allowed!


Password changed.           <-----  Wrong message !!!!


{GRS:67} kinit
Password for ramus@NERSC.GOV:    <------  I used the old password here

{GRS:68} klist
Ticket cache: /home/ramus/tickets/Nersc.grouse
