If you select Supervisor for this option (the default setting), you can access the diskette drives only if you enter the Supervisor password when you start your system. If you start the system with a User password, you see an error message when you try to access the diskette drive. If you select User for the Diskette access option, you can access the diskette drives whether you enter the Supervisor or User password when you start the system. Note To use passwords for diskette drive access, you must enable the Password on boot option. If you select a password level for Diskette access, but leave the Password on boot option disabled, you see an error message whenever you try to access your diskette drive.
