Google Webmaster Tools won't index my site

I discovered that my robots.txt file on my site is causing Google's Webmaster Tools to not index my site properly. I tried and removed just about everything from the file (using WordPress so it will still generate it) but I keep getting the same error in their panel,

"Severe status problems were found on the site. - Check site status". And when I click on the site status it tells me that robots.txt is blocking my main page, which is not.

Edit: Marking this as solved as it seems Webmaster Tools now accepted the site and is showing no errors.

Solution

    User-agent: *
Disallow:
