Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt will be
displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the computer
boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, the user can enter either
password to boot the computer.
Table 23 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password. This table is for
reference only and is not displayed on the screen.
