Re password: you want to read doc/README.autoboot, especially the
section about CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR

re not changing the environment: there is actually a zillion ways to
access the environment - not only from U-Boot, but also from an OS
or with other tools (say, a JTAG debugger).  You need a better
protection than just a password for the serial console if this is
really a concern.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
