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

Visit this http://www.howtogeek.com/102009/how-to-password-protect-ubuntus-boot-loader/ and also this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Passwords – Madhusudhanan Aug 17 '15 at 16:23

3possible duplicate of 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

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

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
