Steven:

I don't know how you got  two passwords to work....   your 37  and 'em'  but 
in my view it is impossible unless you are doing something you're know really 
conveying to us.

What you are trying to do (have two levels of security for the same user 
(steven), is not possible to my knowledge.....

Pick a reasonable password (even 87654321 would work) and live with it.
