One of mine has -Setup and User... It does just what you wanted.
Another one has password(S)  that I think is more like yours...
It was a little tricky setting up, and even can be set for different
passwords for the User and Supervisor...  It took a little "playing with"
to find that out and get it working properly.
EITHER password works for the User functions.
Good luck. My "newest" one is about a year old Award from TYAN...
