Administrator Password

Setting an Administrator Password deters unauthorized persons from changing configuration settings. If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several computers, you might want to set an Administrator Password.

If both the user and administrator passwords are set, you can type either password. However, to change any configuration settings, you must use your administrator password.
