Description: Enable/disable the ability to clear the password(s) and/or
conguration via the front panel buttons. If 'password-clear' is
disabled, the password(s) cannot be reset using the clear button on

conguration/password(s) can not be reset using the clear and
reset button combination at boot time. With 'password-recovery'
