Have you tried to login on the console?

Can you login as root and set a passwd for the hp_administrator account?

Is this a trusted system?

Is this a HP-UX system or a WINDOWS system?

A blank password is just that....Blank... Just hit ENTER or just don't put anything in when prompted for the passwd.
