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.
