In reply to the discussion: 'Go haywire': Onlookers freak out as 25-year-old set loose on Treasury computer system [View all]suegeo

If the treasury sec. himself gave the bambino the password, where did the Treasury Secretary get it? Does the secretary's 2nd in command give out the password?
What is the protocol for providing the password? Is the provider required to first check for security clearance? What level of clearance must one have to access the payment system?
Does it take a security clearance to swipe into the room where the mainframe is? Is it virtual access?
