The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to

password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password
prompt of Setup gives the user restricted access to
Setup. If both the supervisor and user passwords are set,
you must enter either the supervisor password or the
user password to access Setup. Setup options are then
available for viewing and changing depending on whether
the supervisor or user password was entered.
