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.
User password log on
The following restrictions apply when you log on with a user password:
TSETUP

priority.
Supervisor password logon
The following restrictions apply to the user when you log on with a
supervisor password:
Instant security
User password will not provide access to the
computer.
The supervisor password will provide access to the computer from instant
security even if the user password was used to log on to the computer.
However, access will be limited to the user level.
