Password security is not enabled in the XO version of OFW.  Most of the 
deployed systems will be in secure mode, in which you can't access the 
firmware prompt without a developer key.

In general, I have  chosen not to implement persistent configuration 
variable storage for the XO OFW.  One reason is to make the system 
simpler/more foolproof.  Another reason is because the XO doesn't have a 
good place to store such information.
