Enter the grub command line, either by pressing 'c' in the menu or by running 'grub' under Linux, then run the command 'md5crypt'. Enter your password, it will give you the encrypted form. If you do that from Linux, you can copy&paste it to the conf file - otherwise you'll have to write it down, start Linux, and change the conf file.
