It depends a little on what you are talking about using this on.
A formal definition would be something like "All system-level passwords
(e.g., root, enable, NT admin, application administration accounts, etc.)
must be changed on at least a quarterly basis."
This started mainly with Exchange 5.5, and continues thru the Windows Server
Family. It is also called Administrator Password if you are talking about a
server or a network of computers.
Then you have User level passwords which might be a persons email password
that is on the system.
Say you have Windows Server software running at your house, You as
administrator could assign a "Master Password" (ie system-level passwords )
that is called system level as it controls all parts of the network. You
might then assign a different password with different privileges (ie cannot
print or change software or browse certain web sites) to another member of
your family. But all in all, you are in control of the entire "system"
Hope this basically makes sense !
