At the risk of appearing dense how does one set a server user password?

I've figured out how to set the main server password, and to pre-create users with passwords, but how do I assign a regular password for users who haven't yet registered? I don't want to manually enter the names of all my dozens of teammates.

"He who asks is a fool for the moment. He who doesn't ask is a fool forever".

Let's assume there is a password set in the server.ini

Unregistered users:
Must supply the server password (set in server.ini) to connect.

Registered users:
Simply supply the username/password for yourself. If you're registered, then you don't need to use the server password to connect.

So, to set a password that 'unregistered' users can connect with... it's the one in the server.ini
You can change this password, and it won't affect your registered users at all - they still connect with their own username/password.

So, in a situation where someone gives our the 'server' password, you could just change the password in the server.ini (and restart your server), and tell all your dozens of teammates what the new password is.
(Might be good to state that registered users aren't affected by this password change.)

Ok, got it:

In the per-sub-server section, set ServerPassword= to the unregistered user password.
