WARNING: Hashfile ..... Weak Hash ???

Might be a dumb question, but other than the obvious what does this error message mean:

WARNING: Hashfile 'file path' in line 1 (a hash): Weak Hash

There is a single hash in the file. Is that a problem? Why won't hashcat load this hash?

[epixoip]

'weak hash' means that hash has no input. in other words, it is the hash of nothing/null. in other other words, that account has no password.

Good to know. Thanks!
