I saw some articles on the Internet about setting the GRUB boot password, but no matter how I set it, it didn't work.
I wrote it like this:
default 2
timeout 5
color green/black light-gray/blue
title Rescue Windows XP Environment
password=123456
lock
find --set-root /ldrxpe
chainloader /ldrxpe
boot
After restarting, when entering GRUB boot, there is no prompt to enter the password. Does this actually have any effect?
I used md5 to generate the password, but the password was always incorrect:
I did it like this:
grub> md5crypt
password:123456
$1$7uDL20$eSB.XRPG2A2Fv8AeH56nYI
After writing down "$1$7uDL20$eSB.XRPG2A2Fv8AeH56nYI", I re-entered and typed it in menu.lst under Windows. I wrote it like this:
default 2
timeout 5
color green/black light-gray/blue
title Rescue Windows XP Environment
password --md5 $1$7uDL20$eSB.XRPG2A2Fv8AeH56nYI
lock
find --set-root /ldrxpe
chainloader /ldrxpe
boot
After saving, when entering GRUB boot, it always prompts that the password is incorrect when entering "Rescue Windows XP Environment"?
Why is that? What else do I need to do to make it correct?
