AFAIK, none ! Nothing stops a boot disk log in ... I know,
the risk is stated in the LOST tip below. Passwords don't
help here (except for BIOS passwords).. as long as someone
does not discharge the CMOS !!!
Incidentally, loadlin will get through in spite of every-
thing you do in lilo.conf ! Or for that matter even if you
remove lilo altogether.

Log in to Single user mode. At the LILO boot prompt type in:
linux 1 init=/bin/sh root=/dev/hdaN mount rw
(where N is the number of your root partition)
Then change the password for root with the command: #passwd
