Password security

Two security levels are available: supervisor and user. The supervisor password
is provided for system managers or others who need to control the computer's
settings. If you do not need to restrict access to the computer's settings by other
users, it is better to register only a user password.
The following describes restrictions that apply to the user password mode
when both supervisor and user passwords are registered. They do not
apply if only the user password is registered.

supervisor password:

user level.
