Login cancellation question

Purely out of curiosity, but what would happen in all accounts were locked out from being able to be logged in to?? The root account, on most unix-based systems, is locked by default. What if all other login-enabled accounts were changed to be login-disabled?? If such a thing were possible, would there be a possibility of using some way to gain control over the system without being able to login?? Or would the system and its contents be inaccessible?? This is pure curiosity. Obviously, I would never do this if it were possible.
