https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=407887 Summary: Incorrect grub password setup Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andrea.turrini@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I've tried to setup grub password using the bootloader module of yast. If I check /boot/grub/menu.lst, I find the following row: password --md5 CuzLAqX0LfCPQ The password I typed is "a" (without quotes). If I reboot the system, correctly grub requires to push 'p' key to edit an entry. If I try to enter 'a' as password, I obtain a "Failed!" answer, so I can not modify the highlighted entry. I've also noted that if I replace old password (a) with a new one using yast, and the new password is again "a", then the corresponding row in /boot/grub/menu.lst changes and becomes: password --md5 .Kxz0InFhsl3A Thus, if I protect grub with a password, then I'm not able to unlock it at grub prompt. I've tested the problem using virtualbox, but the same happens on my laptop.
