If you are talking about bconsole on Unix: remove the execute permission 
for your usual user, and use sudo to launch bconsole as a different 
user. Sudo can ask for a password.

In Windows, you can achieve a similar effect also by removing the 
permissions for that user, and then in the shortcut to bwx-console, 
under Advanced check "Run with different credentials".
