Protecting the Security Options screen

The first screen you should protect is the Security Options screen, because it controls access to the configuration screens. Access to the Security Options screen can be protected with a password.

Select Password for This Screen in the Security Options screen and enter a password. Make sure this password is secure and is different from any of the user account passwords.

Protecting the configuration screens

You can protect the configuration screens with user accounts. You can administer the accounts from the Security Options screen. You can create up to four accounts.

To display a view-only list of user accounts, select Show Users in the Security Options screen.
