It's (implied) in that 01_PASSWORD file.

I thought updating grub in a live session was more complicated than just running update-grub? Anyway, I didn't. An obvious oversight, in retrospect. Thanks everyone for the quick reactions!

I guess then you'll then have to comment the following lines from the section in /boot/grub/grub.cfg ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD ### set superusers=grub password grub ### END /etc/grub.d/01_PASSWORD ### If you are going to do this take a back-up of grub.cfg before editing it. -- Sachin Dey
[Trisquel-users] GRUB not accepting password
I recently installed Trisquel on a fairly old laptop. In order to boot from the liveCD, I needed to add the boot parameters acpi=off and nomodeset. However, now that Trisquel has been installed, I cannot add these parameters in GRUB. I looked up the randomly generated password, but when I enter it I am just redirected to GRUB, without the ability to edit anything. I can't add the boot parameters any other way, because I cannot get my laptop to boot past GRUB. I already tried commenting out the lines containing the password in the 01_PASSWORD file, but no luck, GRUB still asks for a password, and it doesn't accept my username's password either. Any suggestions?

The user-name is grub, not yours!

Yes! Thank you! Where could I have found this information? I hadn't seen it mentioned in the threads about the grub password. Any idea why commenting out the lines in the password file didn't work?
