bzzzt rtfm.  

when you add password and put restricted in the image section lilo
WILL NOT ask for a password UNLESS some twit is at the console trying
to type linux init=/bin/sh.  if you leave it alone it boots, no
password required.  if you just press enter with no image name it
boots the default image, no password required.  if you type just the
default image name without any arguments it boots, no password
required.
