The whole point is to make the system secure. So let's look at lilo's
security:

Password stored as plaintext in world-readable config file. And it gets
worse:

Password stored in actual bootsector as... not even documented. Even the
many web pages that talk about lilo don't even bother documenting this.

So the password support in lilo is at best as good as if it wasn't there.
