Answer
For setting password u will be using passwd command, to remove password use -d option.
Another method is to edit the /etc/shadow file. Open that file and search for the test2 user line.
test2:$6$emxCUzW0$NuN1tj0rshiK.ACU1trubeLGzLaLF0wtu3.qqV/vDN63cGzDRRJfL07nCDMiRHT8UMPLqXTXDKBcrMWTytSzs1:17203:0:99999:7:::
Here, remove the encrypted content between the : : Save the file and check, it will remove the password.
