Når en bruker logger inn via telnet eller på konsollet, må han/hun vanligvis 
oppgi et passord. Det er fire mulige valg for passordet:
- Spør ved første innlogging
 When the user logs in for the first time via telnet or at the console in
    text mode, the system will prompt the user for his password.
 
- No password required
 The user can login to the system without providing a password. This option
    should be used with care.
 
- No login allowed
 If this option is chosen the user will not be able to login to the system
    at all, even to read mail using POP3 server.
 
- Encrypted password
 Unix passwords are stored in a one-way encrypted form. This option allows
    you to enter the password for a user as an encrypted string (maybe taken
    from the password file on another system).
 
- Clear text password
 To set the password for a user, select this option and enter it into the
    text field. Webmin will take the password you enter, encrypt it and store
    it in the password file.
