I'm really stumped this time because, I've tried to configure the 10_linux & the 00_header the /boot/grub/grub.conf

I've tried it many times, but unable to protect it with Password

Please do help to get the Grub protected by means of Password?

  • You can reduce the seconds of the boot i.e make it a second by doing so you can prevent it @RandolAlbert – Madhusudhanan Aug 17 '15 at 16:14
  • It's already at zero what I'm trying to do is password protect it. @Sridrah – Randol Albert Aug 17 '15 at 16:16

    possible duplicate of [How to secure grub recovery mode](http://askubuntu.com/questions/31605/how-to-secure-grub-recovery-mode). And must reads: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Passwords and section 9 of https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/legacy/grub.html. **Test** these well in a virtual system **before** using it in your mail system. Any mistake can cause undesirable effects. – Ron Aug 17 '15 at 16:25
  • thank you and I will try this again but I don't know if it will work. @Ron – Randol Albert Aug 17 '15 at 16:30
  • If I'm right you have made 2 mistae. 1: config file name is *grub.cfg*. 2: edit config file @ /etc/grub/grub.cfg – totti Aug 17 '15 at 17:25
  • There is nothing in that file either @totti – Randol Albert Aug 18 '15 at 21:07
  • Possibly bug in current version. Upgrade/downgrade to another version. – totti Aug 19 '15 at 04:33
  • How would I upgrade that file @totti – Randol Albert Aug 19 '15 at 21:30
  • Search for grub in software center. Downgrading need super user knowledge. – totti Aug 20 '15 at 04:15
