Comment 1 for bug 977524

Just a note: this is what we call the "account password", and only controls access to computer registration *requests*. It's not the administrator's login password.

If your landscape account (not login: the *account*, like company name) is set to require a password (see "account settings"), then computers will only be able to *request* registrations if they use this password.

With or without a password, all computer registration requests become pending computers and need explicit administrator approval in order to be accepted. There is no automatic registration except for the LDS case, which is a different thing.

If you have an account password and the requesting computer didn't supply it, then it won't even become a pending computer. If the password was supplied correctly, or if there is no password for the account, then the requesting computer will become a pending computer also.
