Well it seems to have changed in F14 which is different.

Thus, GRUB provides a "password" feature, so that only administrators
can start the interactive operations (i.e. editing menu entries and
entering the command-line interface). To use this feature, you need to
run the command `password' in your configuration file (*note
password::), like this:
password --encrypted PASSWORD
If this is specified, GRUB disallows any interactive control, until
you press the key <p> and enter a correct password. The option
`--encrypted' tells GRUB that `PASSWORD' is encrypted format. If it is
omitted, GRUB assumes the `PASSWORD' is in clear text.
You can encrypt your password with the program `grub-crypt' (*note
Invoking grub-crypt::). Then, cut and paste the encrypted password to
your configuration file.
