While in protected mode no Monitor command can be executed from a terminal
connected to the local RS-232 port of the modem before the correct password
has been given. All commands are still available on the remote terminal, i.e.
through the DSL EOC. This allows somebody with access to an unprotected
modem to reset the password of a protected modem.
Passwords are always displayed as a series of asterisks (*) on the Monitor
screen.

Notes:
 Password protection is disabled by default
 Firmware upgrades have no influence on the status of password protection,
i.e. if a modem is password protected it will stay password protected after a
firmware download
 The password is not saved in cleartext in the modem configuration database.
