Selecting password types
You can define both User and Supervisor password levels for
this system. If this system will be used by more than one
person, you may want to set a Supervisor password for
yourself and a User password for others you don’t want to
have complete access to the system. This allows you to restrict
access to the computer’s diskette drives or the virus protection
features.
See the next sections for instructions on selecting the type of
password prompting you want, and on entering, changing, or
deleting passwords.
