if you want to give a default password to all the images just add

                PASSWORD=<anypassword you want>

on the top


or if you want specific passes for different images type

                Password=<password>

on every image para

and after that save and exit and type "lilo" on the command prompt to
activate the changes

Note : dont forget to chmod on lilo.conf  so that no body can see the file
except root because the password stored is in plain text and any body logged
in as even guest can know the password... so protect that lilo.conf file by
disabling read access also
