If one gets to entering grub password they are in good position to use MicroSD card to remove grub boot password.
ASKER
then what is the purpose of having this password
In GRUB - none - on physical machine adversary can boot off the CD, copy your data or/and remove password, on virtual system it will prevent system start and invite you to work on sunday to enter the password....
It is still a valid salted md5 hash that you can use in passwd file.
To protect data you need real encryption, not some password dialog.
