Retype it. 2) It will print a md5 version of your password. Very secure. Now, add this line to /boot/grub/grub.conf: password --md5 PASSWORD_GIVE_BY_GRUB_MD5_CRYPT 3) Make sure that only root can read and write to grub.conf. ;) __________________________________________________________________________ Acabe com aquelas janelinhas que pulam na sua tela.
