Default Question about parental controls and possible suggestion.

I was wondering if there is a way to specify a different password for
overriding parental controls settings, than the administrator password?
Parental Controls is a great idea, not only for Parents but also for bosses
who want to cut on PC maintenance due to employees caused problems (when they
install free software carrying spyware, for example).
But if you have to type the password over and over again, sooner or later
somebody is going to figure that out. The resulting damage could be reduced
if the password were different from the admin one. Just a thought...
In addition, you wouldn't have to reset permissions on folders and other
things you need to do when the admin password is changed in a networked
environment.
Just a thought...I might be wrong.
Any comments?
