I've followed the instructions at https://askubuntu.com/a/281093/546023 to unset my user's password and it all worked just fine.

In addition I have added the following line in sudoers 

myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

However whenever I do service someservice restart it asks me for a password. What's worse no password works. In order to get it to work I need to always do sudo service someservice restart. Note that sudo never requires a password now.

Am I doing something wrong?

This is how my user settings look like right now:

    The only thing you made wrong is that *you didn't follow the warning in the referred-to post*. It explicitely says that you just deleted your own password with this method and thus can no longer supply one when Ubuntu asks for one. Luckily you added the sudoers line for passwordless operation, so you can revert the mess. – PerlDuck Apr 05 '18 at 11:11

    @PerlDuck is there no way to just remove the password completely from everything? – apokryfos Apr 05 '18 at 13:26
