How? There's no SSH by default, and most routers don't port forward
port 22 either. I can't think what else there is by default that
somehow means an empty password (assuming that's what we're talking
about now) will let some guy on the other side of the world in.

Even if you do install SSH its default configuration is to disallow
accounts without passwords from logging in.

If you really want to make it such that "All one need do is ascertain
your IP number <random hit-or-miss attacks will do and they are into
your system with admin privileges" then you need to try rather hard to
get there.
