2.2 The Passwords Category</a>
</h2>
As mentioned above, there are two primary administrative roles for
mailing lists. In this category you can specify the password for
these roles.
<p>
The list owner has total control over the configuration of their
mailing list (within some bounds as specified by the site
administrator). Note that on this page, for historical reasons, the
list owner role is described here as the <em>list administrator</em>.
You can set the list owner's password by entering it in the password
field on the left. You must type it twice for confirmation. Note
that if you forget this password, the only way for you to get back
into your list's administrative pages is to ask the site administrator
to reset it for you (there's no password reminders for list owners).
<p>
If you want to delegate list moderation to someone else, you can enter
a different moderator password in the field on the right (typed twice
for confirmation). Note that if you aren't going to delegate
moderation, and the same people are going to both configure the list
and moderate postings to the list, don't enter anything into the
moderator password fields. If you do enter a separate moderator
password, be sure to fill in the <code>moderator</code> variable in the
<em>General options</em> category page.
