I like the fact that grub wants a password. Makes me think twice about which OS I'm booting into; like "Are you sure ?" in another infamous OS.

After installing several old hard drives into usb-connected cases as well as setting up several desktop PC's, I'm faced with a long list of grub passwords which get mixed up in my head. Life would be so much simpler if I simply changed all those different grub passwords into a simple common password.

I know that I can get rid of grub's password requirement my deleting or commenting out the "echo password grub #####" line in /etc.grub.d/01_PASSWORD file, but does that line link to another place in the OS that has to match ##### ?
