Hi Mark,
Check the official gentoo security guide (docs section).

2.b. Password protecting GRUB

GRUB supports two different ways of adding password protection to your
boot loader. The first uses plain text, while the latter uses md5+salt
encryption.

Haven't used it though.

Rumen,
  Thanks, but they are just two versions of what I've already tried.
That password protection, as shown in the Gentoo Security Guide, only
password protects changing the way you boot each option. As shown in
the guide it does not protect which version you are allowed to boot.

Cheers,
Mark
