An excerpt from my /etc/lilo.conf:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.13
	label=linux
	root=/dev/hda2
	password=xxxxxxxx
	restricted
	readonly

This allows no-password access to the default runlevel, but the password is
needed for any option given at the LILO: prompt (not necessarily a runlevel).

For more details, refer to the lilo.conf(5) man page.

Keep the permissions of lilo.conf as 600, if you are using passwords.
