More details to this question:
I realize our computers are the property of the company, however, we have email and software that requires user names and passwords. Is my supervisor entitled to have my user name and password to those software packages? The IT person has the ability to access and forward at any time things from my computer to my surpervisor.

There may be a reason for asking for your password, but I am not sure why the supervisor would need it. The bigger concern is that if the supervisor logs on for some improper reason using your name, then you may be at fault. I would document the fact that you were asked and complied and do a cc to HR or the IT person so others know about this and approve of it
