You must have done something wrong; setting, modifying  and  deleting
passwords works fine here:

bash-2.04# cat /etc/passwd
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:*:1:1:bin:/bin:
...
bash-2.04# passwd
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
bash-2.04# cat /etc/passwd
root:$1$kVReOwuM$hoM6p0uK11zbUAFP378O/1:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:*:1:1:bin:/bin:
...
bash-2.04# exit
logout

pm826 login: root
Password:
Last login: Tue Aug 27 15:21:01 on console
bash-2.04# passwd -d root
Changing password for user root
Removing password for user root
passwd: Success
bash-2.04# cat /etc/passwd
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:*:1:1:bin:/bin:

It seems you are using devfs; try running without  it.  I  don't  see
much   advantages   of  devfs  for  embedded  systems  where  such  a
flexibility is usually not needed, on contrary.
