You just get a shell without password prompt.

There are ways around it, but by default you can't login in rescue mode when you didn't set a root password:

"Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.
See sulogin(8) man page for more details."

AFAIK that's the main reason why people often recommend to set a root password.
