man passwd

-u This is the reverse of the -l option - it will unlock the
account password by removing the ! prefix. This option is
available to root only. By default passwd will refuse to create
a passwordless account (it will not unlock an account that has
only "!" as a password). The force option -f will override this
protection.

You will then be able to do it.
